I have an USB barcode reader device and need to connect it to a PIC uC (16F or 18F only).
My questions are:
-Can FT232RL be used for that purpose?
-If it can, how can I implement it on a PIC 16F or 18F?
What I need is PIC recognizing the barcode. I was not able to do that.
In short:
I'm using FT232RL to interface USB and UART and also to serve as a host. But I'm not sure that this IC can do the job. And if it can, What I have to do to implement it?
The purpose of FT232RL is not just converting USB to UART but being a host too. That's my expectation.
I'm using MikroC Pro PIC compiler.
I found that I need a USB host to do that. But I very confused because I got no example doing that, specially with FT232RL and a PIC uC.
May someboby help me, giving me some directions or maybe an example?
