USB Basic & PC USBTerminal Demo

[ericgibbs]

A Basic program and PC exe program, that demonstrates the HID USB feature of Oshonsoft with the 18F2550 PIC.

Requires a 2 or 4 line LCD and adc input potentiometer.

Unzip the USB_Term2.zip
Files: USB_Demo3.bas,, USB_Term2.exe,,,USBTERM2.gif

NOTE: The Oshonsoft USB option must be installed in your PC.

If required, a Velleman K8055 USB PCB conversion to18F2550 diagram and Demo.bas is available.

Eric... I know you don't help via PM's but... Have you any idea how fast Vladimir's USB is running? I have a small datalogger that stores data on a 1mbit eeprom then uploads to a PC via Vladimir's ocx, But it appears slower than RS232 running @ 57600bps... The USB peripheral can run at 96mhz but from his examples a 20mhz xtal is used... according to the data sheet a 4mhz xtal + pll will give you 96mhz on the USB ad 48mhz on the PIC side... There isn't a 96mhz available when using 20mhz..

My question is.. Have you attempted a faster connection? If so what config settings did you use..

hi Ian,
The Oshonsoft USB is HID speed, using 8 bytes each for Reports and Features.
If you check the HID data transfer rates its pretty slow , just better than 9600 baud.!

I will dig out some info and post it later.

Thanks for that! I thought it was my software configuration.... It does explain why, if I set the clock speed to 96mhz... it just doesn't work.

Thanks again.

hi Ian,
I use a 20MHz xtal and the internal PLL of the 18F2550 to drive the USB
There has been a query raised on the Yahoo PIC user group about the 'actual' frequency that the OSH uses for the USB.

I try to do as much maths and processing of the data in the 18F2550 and then use the PC to read the processed data Reports/Features.
Basically I fill all 16 bytes before reading.

extract from data source.
PLLDIV=5 ' This sets the PLL Postscaler to divide the primary osc input by 5
providing 4MHz to the 96MHz PLL. The 96MHz PLL input must always be 4MHz
as shown in the data sheet.

CPUDIV=OSC1_PLL2 ' This sets the PLL Postscaler to divide the 96MHz PLL
output by 2 providing a 48MHz clock to the CPU.

USBDIV=2 ' This divides the 96MHz PLL output by 2 providing 48MHz to the
USB core.

FOSC=HSPLL_HS ' This enables HSPLL for high-speed crystal/resonator.

hi Ian.
Some quick testing of the OSH HID USB.
Using a 18f2550 with 20MHz xtal and 4*PLL [ 96MHz] connected to a PC Win XP 3.06GHz.

The PIC is a simple increment counter for 2 Words, on each increment the USBSERVICE is called.

Reading from the PIC using a PC based VB5 program, reading the REPORT 8 bytes from the PIC, no displayed or recording, just incrementing a receive counter.

The best I can get is 250 Reports/sec so thats 2000bytes/sec [ 4m/sec per Report]

The PIC internal incrementing counter increases by ~300 for every Report reading.

Thanks Eric!! I might try and work in microchips MSD with SD there are pretty good examples that come with the libraries...

hi,
This is the HID USB def doc.
