USB learning kit devices
« on: July 01, 2010, 06:25:27 pm »
Hi,

I mentioned in an earlier post that I'm developing a custom PC application to
communicate with a Vendor-Specific USB device. I ran across the 'How to Use
WinUSB to Communicate with a USB Device' document from Microsoft.
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/connect/usb/winusb_howto.mspx
The document provides an example involving communication with the
OSR USB FX2 Learning Kit device. I attempted to order the learning kit but
it's currently on backorder until August. Anyone have experience with this
learning kit? Is it helpful in developing WinUSB applications? Are there any
other such kits available?

Thanks

I haven't used the FX2 kit, but Microchip'sApplication Libraries include a WinUSB example. My WinUSB page also has firmware for the PIC 18F4550 dev board and a host application to go with it.
