[simpits-tech] USB Interfacing.

[Alan D. Mazurka]

Hi, Roy.

1. have you considered something like talking to a serial port that 
converts to USB? buy something like a serial-to-USB cable, keep the 
USB end untouched, and take the serial side of the cable apart. 
connect 1 pin output from the PIC to the data line. you'll talk to it 
via a virtual SIO port.

2, i had a USB I/O controller that gave me 24 bits to play with. you 
could write to any of the 24 bits, then read them over USB via a 
virtual SIO port. sounds like overkill in your situation.

3. someone _must_ have finessed the PIC -> USB connection already. it 
seems like such a common problem.

i wouldn't try to build an actual USB interface myself. lots of folks 
have cracked that nut inexpensively.
