Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

A little while ago we discussed USB used with PIC microchips (to drive
a PCB drilling station). I had uploaded files generated by EasyHID, a
free tool from Mécanique.

It turns out I was missing some files. I had not upgraded to the
latest version of PIC BASIC Pro and that must have affected the tool.
I've regenerated the same files and now have a LOT more files.

I've recently purchased USB Complete and USB Design By Example to help
me in my design and I couldn't understand how come they had soooo much
more Assembler routines than I first had. Now I know why.

So, for those who had expressed interest in USB and PICs, I've uploaded
a new file set in FILES/USB. A note about the two books I purchased,
unless you plan on using the EZ-PCB products from Cypress, save your
money. It hadn't crossed my mind that their Assembler would not be
compatible with MPASM, d'uh... Also the tools on the CD don't seem to
all work properly, the author keeps referring to Windows '98 and I have
Windows XP Home.

In fact, I've got so many files now that there's one I don't know what
to do with it...
