What have you done with PIC USB?

[vacpress]

Hey everyone! I want invite you to present your PIC USB projects (please!!!!)

There is a lack of working examples, and I would like to see some. If there is considerable response(please?! even one or two responses?) we can archive and present them as learning tools to avoid the difficulty of this stuff for a beginner!

All I can present is the USBDemo from mister e... that thing taught me quite a bit.. now i am developing the rest of my project to try and do my first usb project..

Anyone got anything more substantial to share?


Thank you!
Robert

this forum is not getting any better on it's own.

What do you expect? Working example served on a gold plate and for free or just some idea/existing stuff?

[vacpress]

well. many projects are not commercial, but then, we did spend some $ on the compiler...

i suppose i wanted to see at least 1 or 2 projects, of any complexity, which show a working example of usb hid use..

the example you put together is great, but i would like to see another approach, possibly with a different type of data...


the usb stuff is interesting to me. having limited time and ability to comprehend the multitude of variables and memory addresses and jargon involved, it helps to see the same information applied in different ways... it is how i teach myself.

thank you though as i seem to have your attention. your usbdemo program is very usefull to people like me.

all i have to offer is BS2 stuff... but, hey... i am working on a writeup to use a BS2 to control 3D models in solidworks through solidworks API.... surely that is a neat gift for certain people out there!

most of what i did are prop to my customer so i can't post any of them here. But let's see what i did with 'till now

programmable audio patch board:
300 in, 300 out. saving patch cord and messy patch boards...

Custom Software dongle protection:
if the dongle is not installed, the software won't run... yeah i reinvented the wheel...

programmable power supply
16 outs (1 AMP), generate fixed or custom AC (+ variable dc offset), DC curves.
log each output current to the pc.
over-current protection

Analog & digital data logger

car radio decode dongle
for Blaupunkt, Porsche, Honda, Acura, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, Kenwood, Land-Rover, Audi, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Volkwagen, some GM and Volvo.

EEProm programmer

programmable and fix function/tone generator

multipurpose test and calibration jig

multi output programmable timer

and i know i forget some.

I have tons of other idea to do for my website... i just need some spare time...

Glad to hear you learned from the USBDemo.
