    Does anyone know how to change the name of a USB device?

    I think you will have to use D2XX drivers instead of the VCP driver. The VCP driver emulates a COM port and that's why it will be listed as USB<>COM port.

    Problem with strange PIC behavior

    Re: Strange PIC behavior It probably has to do with what instructions the compiler generates for the while loop, there probably is a GOTO involved (which takes 2 cycles). If you need perfect timing better do it in MPASM and count the clock cycles for each instruction.

    What is the cheapest MP3 decoder chip?

    mp3 chip decoder If you want a real cheap MP3 player better go buy one retail. I built an MP3 player and spent way more than a retail player would have costed. If you still want to build one, a very good MP3 decoder is the VS1001. This: **broken link removed** is a good place to start if you...

    Converting design to use EDO RAM

    I got a rom emulator which uses 72 pin SIMM memory. It works ok with standard (non-edo) ram but has some timing problems with EDO memory that makes it lose it's contents. The problem is I got some EDO SIMMs I'd like to use with it. I attached the TDF file, can you help? Thanks.

    How to copy firmware from protected EPM7128?

    Protected EPM7128 I have a rom emulator which had a bad contact in it's SIMM socket. I soldered the RAM to its socket and accidentally shorted 3 pins. Some ports of the 7128 seem to have blown, since once I cleaned the solder (and replaced the SIMM socket) the device stopped working for good...

    PIC 18F252 programming problem

    The 18F252 is a 16 bit device, you have to devine EEPROM data as WORDS using DW instead of BYTES that were defined using DB. You can still access the high byte using LABEL + 1 For instance DFIRM DW 00103H ; FIRMWARE RELEASE 3 DREV EQU DFIRM+1 ; REVISION: 1 When...

    AT Keyboard and initialization

    No big timing problems, PS/2 keyboard is syncronous, the interface uses 4 pins: 5V, GND, DATA (bidir) and CLOCK. The interface uses open collector with pullups. Never DRIVE this pins or you'll blow something. Best way is to keep the port LOW and invert it form input (HIGH via pullup) to outpt...
