AVR microcontroller communicates with PC via USB

ft232r avr microcontroller

Hi all,
I want to communicate between AVR micro and PC via USB (UART is so simple and I've done it many times), AVR gathers information from sensors and transfers to PC.
I probably use FT232 chip, which is convert RS232 to USB. Right ?
Could you give me some advice or others solution ?
Thanks !!

Yes, you can use ft232rl.

If you wish you can also use AVR with usb

FT232 chip will convert your usb data to serial data(RS232). I dont think that will be do a lot of change in your program.
It will just change your hardware schematic a bit.
And i dont think that will affect your transfer data speed.

How about use real usb controller for high speed data transfer? You may need more effort to do that like make a usb driver,learn usb protocol etc but i think that's worth of it.

Happy trying and good luck
