    USB extenstion for submersible

    Hi all, I am building a tethered submersible. It has a camera, a servo to pan the camera, and an LED. I need to extend the USB cables a couple hundred feet for camera and servo control. Is USB over fiber with transmitters the best way to extend the distance of the cables? Thanks, Jim

    Read data from USB devices

    Hello, I have received a infrared multi-touch frame (Nexio HID Multi-Touch ATI0320-10) where my boss asked me to check if I can make a program that count the number of times I interact with the frame (everytime an object enters the grid). I need to display the amount of times I interacted with...

    My HID doesn't output the correct values - STM32

    I'm making a force feedback wheel with an STM32F103. So I had to learn about HID. I made a very simple descriptor, to begin with. I'm supposed to see the buttons count in binary in the controller visualizer but they're random. Comparing the received value in USBlyser, when it's 0xA9, buttons 1...

    USB Reclocker with a USB3503

    Hello, I want (/try) to make a usb "reclocker" with a microchip USB3503 (https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/USB3503). I tried to copy their reference design a bit. I have some questions. 1. If the design seems fine ? 2. I suppose there won't be a serious ground loop if I use a floating...

    how Oscilloscope Cards transfer sampled data for display on PC

    Hi everyone, Most of oscilloscope cards and DAQ cards have very high sample rate in comparison with the speed of thier interface port (for example usb). I know that it is not necessary to send all sampled data to pc for display and most of digital processings are performed by card itself. My...

    T.I. BLE USB MCU Programming Trouble (CC2540)

    Hello Everybody! I am trying to program/communicate with the CC2450 BLE IC, which is a transceiver/microcontroller. My computer is having trouble recognizing the device. It does not show up in Device Manager. I've tried the T.I. tools for trying to communicate with it. I've downloaded the BLE...

    Problem with CH340C

    Hi I made a board that contains an ESP32-WROVER and an USB to serial adapter ch340c but it's not visible when I connect it to the PC (Windows 10). I tried to install the ch340 driver and I even tried 7 USB cables but the problem still remain. So maybe I have a mistake in the design ? PS: 3.3V...

    Connecting USB with MCU

    Hi Friends, Here I am attaching the datasheet of an MCU of STMicroelectronics and a typical pin configuration of a USB 2.0. PA11 and PA12 of the controller are assumed for USB_DM and USB-DP respectively. Can I directly connect those pin to the USB through a series 15R resistor and a TVS Diode in...

    How to dim 4.5v fairy light LEDs on a USB supply?

    Hi folks, plea for help. I've wired my daughter's LED fairy lights to a USB-2 supply, but now they're much brighter than the 3 AA batteries made them (and we quite preferred when the batteries were half flat), so I've been trying to find a variable resistor to put in series to reduce the...

    How to configure a chip using UART-USB?

    Hi, I am using a USB-UART device (more specifically the Foca v2.2, FT232RT) to configure a Thorlabs chip (MTD415TE temperature controller), but I have no idea how do it. The chip's datasheet says to use commands such as "m?" to "Reads the version of hardware and software", or "Wx" to "Sets the...

    USB Charger Circuit - Initial Consumption Before Power Negotiation - Timing?

    Hello, I have a voltage regulator (switching & boost regulator) who's output voltage is being set/controlled by a microcontroller. I can set the output voltage to anything between 4.5 volts and 6.5 volts. Under normal operation, the voltage is always going to be between 5.2 volts and 6.5 volts -...
