I am looking to design a USB interface with the following specs
controller for low level control of downstream devices
Free/cheap software/hardware to program controller
I/O 3 8 bit ports or thereabouts
No hubs or other peripherals required
Cheap/freely available controller in small volumes, though hardware
cost is less important than ease of realization, as volumes will be
low.
Controller flash programmable
I have no particular allegiance to any manufacturer, but have used Atmel
micros in the past for several projects. I use Linux tools now for most
of my work, though this is non electronic applications and is not
mission critical. I am not yet up to speed with the PC side programming,
though I guess I can learn if this is not too complex.
Multichip solutions are not out of the question, but one chip would be
better.
Anyone have any ideas as to the best solution to fit these parameters?
Is this likely to be beyond hobbyist level capabilities?
Thanks
Richard
