Can you recommend a USB host chip to be used with a Microchip microcontroller ? For learning purposes I want to use a USB mouse with it. Thanks. |

MAX3421E? Or just use a PIC24F or PIC32 with USB host support. |

Vinculum VNC2 may be worth a look as well, unlike the earlier device this is a user-programmable MCU with USB libraries, but can be used as a serial/SPI to USB host interface with their ready-made firmware. The (free) devtools are a bit sucky at the moment, but useable. |

Alternatively Microchip have very good library's and support. Also lost of pre-written examples you can teak to your application. |

I am thinking of USB connection, so i should make the PIC as a USB Host is that possible? or if there are another ways to get the barcode and the pic communicated ? --- End quote --- It will be way easier to use a serial or ps/2 keyboard interfaced barcode scanner. |
