Well it is time to call on the pro. For some help.
Some time ago I programmed the parallel with the help of your book (Parallel Ports Complete) which was great .
Now its time for Usb Ports.
I needed to update my programs using Usb ports.
I again purchased your book (Usb Complete). And then the Pic18F4550 on the OUMEX board.
I was able to get the boot loader to work but that is as far as it goes.
What I need to do is control the input / output ports of the PIC18F4550. The program is Visual Basic 2008. Operating system Windows XP.
I guess I need A step by step sample program.
I do not know what DLL to use. So I guess lets start from the ground up.
I will be programming threw the USB cable. While most other I found use the serial port.
If you have a paper that I can cut and paste the code that will be fine as well. Any help for this dummy will be welcome.
Thank You for your time,
Jack W. Pulling
