Summary of Updated PIC 18F4550 USB Demo Board Video
Parts used in the USB Demo Board Project:
- Circuit board with bare minimum parts
- USB communication host software
- USB communication device firmware
- Downloaded USB function libraries
- 18F4550 microcontroller
In this video we step through a an updated version of the USB demo board. Changes include:
-circuit board will only contain bare minimum parts to demonstrate USB communication from host to device and device to host
-for both firmware and host software, we will make the projects from scratch, import downloaded USB function libraries, write main program step by step
-these changes should make it much easier for somebody new to USB communication or new to USB communication with the 18F4550 to get started
-follow along and make your own!
