Pic Basic Pro and C#

[wdmagic]

using your C code and a serial port to send receive data from the PIC, its like communicating with 2 computers via null modem cable in the old days. I use VB.net and its got a prebuilt in control for serial communication, if your using visual c/c++ it should have that too. to communicate with PIC USB Ports you should have to use a HID.dll file to communicate I think. Not sure how to do this on C, but in microcode studio it has a HID maker.

But I would try just interfacing with the PIC via serial port to get the understanding and your program in c working first then change the type of communication.

aha

thx for answer now I understand how that works and it is clear to me now. So program created in C++ or C# will send info to USB, and program for PIC will register that info from USB and do what ever he is program to do.

I would start by sending out serial from a PIC programed with compiler of your choice to a PC serial port and run HyperTerminal which is found in windows in the start menu under accessories > communications.
The sent text will display on the terminal screen.
Hyperterminal can also be configured to send keystrokes back to the PIC with a receive routine for example to blink an LED if RX is "1".
This is a major cool factor for a beginner programmer!
