Hey everyone. I am a bit confused on whether or not I can actually add USB functionality to a PIC16F877 (a PIC without built in USB capability). I understand there are UART to USB converter ICs out there but I want to get to know the USB protocol so I am looking for a driver IC or a USB transceiver IC that I can interface with a PIC.
Do such items exist in DIP packaging? Am I just better off using a PIC with built-in USB functionalities? Like I said, I really would just like to learn to apply USB and understand the fundamentals..and also not have to change to a new PIC .
