"Integrating USB into Products" [L2 ]


AMG: http://www.dlpdesign.com/usb/usb245.shtml is an outstanding product. On my first project using it I had a supremely easy time interfacing it with both the circuit (eight-bit FIFO) and the computer (Tcl opening a MS-Windows COM1:-type device). I highly recommend it.

See also Serial Port for an opportunity to access USB via a virtual com port (VCP) driver. -- RJM

slebetman Using the VCP driver for the FT245 on Windows I managed to push around 840kb/s from Tcl. The limiting factor appears to be the recieving end which is a small microcontroller with a 5MHz instruction cycle. Tcl's I/O is very fast!

APN On Windows, TWAPI's start_device_monitor command can be used for notifications when USB devices are inserted or removed.
