PIC-USB-4550

The PIC-USB-4550 is a development board, which allow you to prototype and develop USB applications with PIC18F4550 microcontrollers. The board have USB connector to connect and interface with PC or other USB host. Microchip provide free firmware for USB HID (human interface device) device which you can use to make custom mouse, joystick, CDC (communication class device), Audio class device (make your own microphone, speaker etc USB devices), mass storage device (add your own USB disks), USB to RS 232 etc . Using the Microchip boot loader you can program your code and change your firmware vie USB without the need for programmer. The on board ICSP connector allow you to program the PIC on the board without pulling it of the socket, by ICSP programmer like PICMCP, PIC-MCP-USB, PIC-PG1, PIC-PG2, PIC-PG3, PIC-PG4 or to program and debug it with PIC-ICD2, PIC-ICD2-POCKET or PIC-ICD2-TINY.
