I woould like to control robot hardware from my PC USB port (in a manner similar to using BASIC to control the pins of a parallel port).
The Microchip MCP2200 seems to be a cheap easy to use option for building a USB interface.
Is it possible to control and read the status of the GPIO pins on the MCP2200 chip from software running on the PC via a USB port?
Microchip does provide a Configuration Utility to configure the MCP2200 but I want something that will run by itself.
My first choice would be to write a program in something like QBasic which is able to control parallel and serial ports and (I believe) USB ports also.
Thanks.
