Post by thread:[SX] SX28 with USB port !!!

SPI and I2C are also supported. Keyboard, mouse, network and storage devices are supported by the usbwiz. An oem board is available.

That's what the manual says. For network you use raw usb commands. I hope it allows communication between two usb lan adapters connected to two usbwiz oem boards. I believe (some) usb lan adapters can act as an access point (so in effect you would have a wireless crosscable network connection). regards peter ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=97888#m97903 Need assistance?

I can't get to the links posted in this thread, so I'm just assuming that the solutions here involve a USB module (I can't even get to the Parallax home page, but I can get to this forum.....weird!). Anyway, I do know that Parallax sells USB IC's for a lot cheaper than a module. Anyone have experience with these? Anybody want to post a project? In my particular case, I want to make a stand-alone USB box (no computer) that interfaces with a simple HID device. The unit would just have to receive a couple of switches on/off states and only send a few packets of info. Speed is not an issue. It would also have to be as cheap as possible, therefore the IC's look better than a module (even a cheap module).

Well, I finally got a good internet connection and was able to click on all the links. The USBwiz device looks cool and would be perfect for me, except the cost. Any one use this device?: SL811HS Yeah, it would take a lot more programming, but 1/3rd the cost of the wiz.

This is how pictbridge works without using a PC host. While it may take additional code the end result would work very nicely. If your doing real USB development, Cypress really does it right. Their USB devices typically allow you to code your entire USB interface within the chip allowing you to use the micro as the workhorse of the system as it was intended. So adding this part to the Sx should require minimal code on the SX and allow the SX to be both a host and slave device.
