    USBDemo was a kickstart for many. Time changed, PBP work tad different now, mcHID.dll/MCSP/EasyHid = somehow a dead duck, VB6 is a long time outdated thing, seems Jan Axelson code examples are not for everyone... so yeah I think it's about time.

    I know how, I know something rock solid. Keyword: be patient...

    (Still, there's LOAD of ressource/ready to go components/lib over the net on the PC side)

    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    and I quote:

    AAwwww come on guy, don't be lazy
    After spending my weekend searching and reading. I have come to the conclusion there is in fact - tons of examples and ready stuff all over the net. But does this help if one doesn't know where to start? Even bought Jan's book to help me. And it did. Now I assume my weekends work would amount to 30 minuites for someone able to write a picmulticalc. So a quick VB express (cuz it free to all) example passing a byte or 2 back and forth. Nothing more then that as it will overwhelm those who don't get it. ( read as ME ME ME)

    Everyone must start somewhere. Been there done that. I'm not more clever than anybody, but maybe I put more time & effort. I never found a magic potion to know everything and how to do things in a snap.
    1) have a project
    2) find information, read, digest them
    3) try something
    4) wash & rinse 'till it works

    You CAN'T learn VB (or else) in a day. It take months, years. I learnt the hard way too. The more you do, the more you develop tricks....the easier it gets.

    Don't give up!

    I learned ASM with nothing more then the datasheet for my chip I wanted to use. So I won't give up. But its nice to have people to ask for help. No, I don't profess to even come close to knowing all there is to know about ASM, but I can get by.

    Keep it for yourself, I'll share a secret with you... I'm a forum addicted guy They are golden opportunities to learn faster... grab someone's problem, work on, find a solution... then someone else post an alternative, observe, wash & rinse.

    Again... keep it for yourself

    Yeah - I've probably made my point so I guess I'll go back to patiently waiting in silence.
