USB-on-an-MCU is the whodunit. The good news is they’re cheap; there’s loads of competition; they leverage your existing hardware and software skills; and they’ve been around long enough to populate the forums with the pain you can now avoid suffering. | USB-on-an-MCU is the whodunit.

=Thursday 28 April Workshop Content= | |||
*7-10pm in the quiet room. | |||
This first workshop will be an introduction to the theory of USB as it relates to HID interfaces. We'll cover: - | |||
* A 'hello world' USB hardware interface to some existing PC applications; | |||
* USB basics; | |||
* A look at “USB-on-a-chip”, the manufacturers, the dev environments and the chips; | |||
* How you want a Hackspace USB group to work, brainstorm some project ideas, talk about commiting to projects; | |||
* Anything else that we decide looks interesting. | |||
This content will be repeated in future workshops. | |||
After this workshop has finished, I hope we'll have a better idea of what we want from any USB group going forward. | |||
