Hey guys, I want to get to learn the USB protocol along with interfacing USB into micros a bit better. I was just wondering which of the following do you think you are the best methods.
I understand many of the 18 series PICs offer USB included..but I currently work on 16 series (always can upgrade though).
So which do you prefer for learning USB and for ease of use/learning:
(1) Stick with 16 series and interface it to an external USB transciever/host/chip directly.
(2) Stick with 16 series and interface it to a USB UART IC through a MAX3100 or MAX232.
(3) Upgrade to 18 series pics and learn about the build in USB functionality.
Which do you think is best to do to learn? Any recommended chips? Also, any idea where I can find sample code or application notes for any of these?
Thanks guys!
