USBMicro and Arduino

Post by **KanedaFr** » Fri Feb 06, 2009 4:59 pm

Did someone make some experiment with usbmicro or/and arduinoboard ?

I'm looking for a cheap and easy (read : for electro newbie!) way to interface my PC with the gen..err...outside world throught USB...
From what I read, it's usbmicro main goal but Arduino board seems to be very popular.

USBMicro provide a lib to communicate with the board while Arduino use a new language to program the chip firmware which can send you data throught the COM it emulates on USB port.

USBMicro NEEDS to be connected to a PC to work while Arduino (since the logic is on the firmware) can work disconnected (but with power of course)

so...what do you know/think of them ? or another low cost solution ?

pic18F2550 or ...4550, has internal USB, it's available in DIP, SOIC, ... but I've never looked into it, so I don't know what it needs to make the USB module work with the PC.
