Embedded System control Input through a USB port of a PC..any ideas??

[abhi@eda]

Hello all,can anyone share some good reliable architecture to send a number code from a PC to a Micro-controller through USB and the Micro-controller should activate appropriate pin on anyone of its port,working as a switch control...

And is it possible for a C++ program to take a number code as argument and send the same to the USB port,which is received by the Micro-controller??

my idea is to build a GUI application,which will send a number code to the Micro-controller through USB...

and what micro-controller is reliable in USB communication?? and is my above idea possible or do you think there are better ones??

Please advice and help me out,thank you

You have to use MCU like PIC18F4550 or any other which supports USB. There are also AVR MCUs with USB. See helmpcb.com You need to write a application in VC++, VB, VB.net, VC#... which can send data through USB on PC side. See book "Advanced PIC microcontroller projects in C" by Dogan Ibrahim. It has such an example. See this project https://www.edaboard.com/threads/271146/

hi every one
I wont to ask how increase the number of bytes which transfer through the usb port, may project is mainly based on the Dogan Ibrahim usb project
