Can I use PicBasic Pro to connect a PIC mico to a PC using only the USB port for communications rather than a serial port, eliminating the need for a usb-RS-232 adaptor.

It takes a little work configuring everything up to use the USB but very rewarding and a lot of possibilities when you get it going.
