HI Guys.
I have query serial ports are obsolete e.g. there are none in laptops. USB will always be there. So any good software in which i can design my interactive GUI and control my pic or any controller via my PC usb port?

Recommend something else than Matlab. what about visual studio is it viable? can i make the exe of that GUI and can run on any PC?
 

Most people are setting up the USB part as CDC device and control it through virtual COM port, keeping the previously used serial commands.

Microchip do an excellent range of USB software for the PIC.
I use an 18f4550 but you can get smaller devices with USB.

I know nothing about USB thing so confused as there are many softwares. Can you mention the name. i tried to find but in vain.

I hope somebody give me a good starting point.
 



You can have RS232/LPT on any Laptop/Notebook just put expansion card into empty PCMCIA port. You can even get several ports with special cards say like 8 RS232 from one expansion card. And RS232 ports are true RS232 with 12V not 5V, this depence from expansion card specification.
