USB Connectivity

One Handed Man [ OHM# ]

Has anyone done any coding in this area ?, I dont want to be pointed in the direction of a link unless it has specific examples of what I am trying to do.

Basically, I have decided to connect to a serial device plugged into one of my USB ports. But I dont know where to start really and dont want to wade through a hundred and one pages of c*&p before I understand how to code it.

Any samples, free code, good advice ?

Hi,

Yes. However, there is no built-in support for USB. You would have to call
the underlying USB Windows APIs (this is called Platform Invoke or P/Invoke
for short). Jan Axelson's book, USB Complete 2nd Edition is the reference
that I use for this sort of thing. You can find a link to it from Books on
my homepage.

Dick,
The first two links in your message do not work. I'll look at
your site though.
