USB INTERFACE BOARD USING PIC18F4550

[ron1234]

Its a PIC18f4550 based USB INTERFACE DEVELOPMENT BOARD..


it enables me to control 6 leds via a USB connection and a C# application, with clicks on button.

A very Nice and Good Project...

PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO AND IF ANYONE LIKE IT THEN I WILL POST A DETAILED TUTORIAL FOR MAKING IT

STAGE/PART-1
MAKING OF THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD

Author: Rakesh Mandal




This board is programmed to control 6 led’s and it can be manipulated easily to control 8 led’s. In place of led’s you can interface it to some other electronics components to control like DC motor or stepper motor or can make your own robotics application as I did. A small software made in C# can control the glowing of led’s with clicks of mouse or with pressing of some keys.

-For my project I bought this PIC18f4550 microcontroller for Rs. 375 (Indian currency) that is around 6.5 $. It is available in any electronics shop. The schematic is provided in this turorial is a snapshot picture from EAGLE Layout designer.

So get all the components in the list i have provided below and heat up your soldering iron and lets begin.Be careful while working with soldering iron.

TIP: Save the schematic and pin diagram for this USB demo interface Board. Refer the pin diagram time to time while soldering to avoid confusion. It is better to do labeling in the PCB to avoid confusion while you are soldering.

-It is recommended to use a PCB for making this USB board.Over breadboard there are always chances of loose connections. Some time all the connections are perfect but still the PIC18F4550 is not detected by the system over breadboard, (it will freak you out) , so better use a PCB, I myself faced this problem, even though all the circuitry and connections were perfect and all checked up two time, but still no sign of life. So better to use a PCB on the first shot. You can alter the connection anytime on PCB in any mistake is detected on the USB interface board you are making.
