I am creating a project in which you control your lights via a computer. However I have no experience in getting my PIC(18f2550) to read its USB input. Can anyone help me?
Alternatively, you can use a USB-serial adapter for your computer. I use the FTDI 4232 mini-module. ...
Or you can get 10 from China direct for $15.Sparkfun has the modules for the FT232 for around 15 bucks.
When girls buy accessories, they buy earrings, hand bags, shoes.what sense does it make to pay $15 for USB module for a $3 microcontroller with USB?
Also you can't communicate properly through a converter like via USB. You can only use the USB interface of the converter.

I don't need to modify anything. And, to say "modify it" without any specifics wouldn't be enough information to get me started.Use the USB stack.
Download from the website (Microchip).
you have to copy the project and then modify it.
I can, no problem at all.Also you can't communicate properly through a converter like via USB.
The OP asked for help controlling lights via a computer. This is a way to do it, and do it simply. I disagree it wasn't what he asked.is not what the OP was asking.
Sure, I don't doubt that.I can, no problem at all.
None at all. Serial is full-duplex. In the simple case of a PC and microcontroller, the goal is usually to communicate, and not to probe the depths of the specification. If the goal is to use all of USB's features, then that's a horse of a different color.Fullduplex with serial port is a bit of an effort, or isn't it

I see a question concerning (and I quote) "getting my PIC(18f2550) to read its USB input."PIC programming for computer to PIC

The USB/serial converters are offered on the market because people repeatedly buy them.
I see the question as, and I quote, "a project in which you control your lights via a computer.", so I offered an alternative. Did someone die and leave you the post police?I see a question concerning (and I quote) "getting my PIC(18f2550) to read its USB input."
You are free to discuss the technology all you want. I won't stop you. I have an alternative method which is much simpler, although you need to set 4 parameters (takes about 4 seconds). But, please proceed to discuss any technology you like.Why not discuss the technology a bit.
