USB files

2005-07-07 by Robert Hedan

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...
