If you’re using an AVR microcontroller and you’d like to add USB to a project, there are a lot of options out there for you. Both LUFA and V-USB add some USB functionality to just about every AVR micro, but if you’d like a native serial port, your only options are to look towards the USB-compatible Atmel micros. Ray looked at the options for adding a USB serial port and didn’t like what he saw; seemingly, this was an impossible task without a second, more capable microcontroller.: if the goal is only to transfer data back and forth between a computer and a microcontroller, why not write an HID-class USB serial port?

Ray based his project on and created a new HID descriptor to transfer data between a micro and a computer. While it won’t work with a proper terminal such as Putty, Ray managed to whip up a serial monitor program in Processing that’s compatible with Windows, Linux and OS X. In the video below, you can see Ray using an ATmega328p with a standard V-USB setup. He’s transferring analog values from a photoresistor as a proof of concept, but just about everything that would work with a normal serial port will work with Ray’s library.

Hello, Actually you can cheat. The problem is that the serial port uses burst transfers, which require full speed or better. However, some operating systems happily let a low speed device use bulk transfer. I seem to remember BSD and Windows made no problems about it (was not me who did the testing), linux has a test somewhere that you can easily remove (look for error in dmesg, search for error in kernel source, comment out). Also, nothing would stop you to make a real driver for this ‘HID-USB’ device, then it would appear as an actual serial port;). All of the solutions so far require some hacking as MS disabled low speed bulk transfer in newer versions of Windows.

They also require one to compromise security by disabling “Driver Signature Enforcement” in win x64. Trinket-fake-usb-serial is actually pretty close to my idea described above except the com0com program doesn’t have a signed driver for x64 either. HDD’s “Free Virtual Serial Port” on the other hand has signed drivers for x86/x64. Probably a rewrite to the Python source code to use named pipe would work. What are you talking about, in single quantities, and is 33% more expensive!

The ATmega8u2 with 8 KiB flash 22 IO pins costs 3.70. The ATmega382 with 32 KiB flash and 23 IO pins costs 2.77.

The ATmega32u2 with 32 KiB flash and 22 IO pins costs 4.40. The ATmega32u4 with 32 KiB flash and 26 IO pins costs 6.05. And here’s the kicker, the ATtiny85 with 4/8 KiB flash and 6 IO pins costs 1.03/1.18. While doing a one off, it really doesn’t matter which chip you choose, but even here the ATmega8u2 is 3.6 times more expensive then an ATtiny84.

It becomes really interesting if you take the pricebreak into account, getting 25 ATTiny’s isn’t a bad idea, they can be quite usefull for various fun projects, and then they cost 0.65/0.75 each when getting 25 (8u2 is 2.32, 382 is 1.25 and 32u2 is 2.76). So again, you get 1 micro for 1 USB project, paying 3.70 or 2.77 won’t matter much to you, but there is still quite a significant price difference here, so yeah, I’m quite happy with v-usb on my 0.75 cents ATtiny85’s:). ATmega328P @ Digikey – 2.35 euro LPC1343 @ futureelectronics – 2.40$ LPC1343 is cool in this context because it does not require you to have any programmer to program it – it just shows up as a flash drive, you drop compiled firmware into it.

When you go into tinys – yes, there is no way to get USB connectivity for the price point. But frankly, how much of the tiny is left for you after you put a USB stack on it? Not much probably. And again – what would you use serial for?

Probably to read the debug output. There are bit banged serial solutions for tinys exactly for this. And BTW – cp2102 module on ebay – 2.30$ Nevertheless, cool hack, go go go! What should you call it communication over USB for any AVR? Language is not some thing static, homonyms are very common. I believe tautology accusations are usually just a case of trying to be a smart arse.

(like this comment). I had a similar problem as this project, with data not being delivered after running for a while.

I solved it by checksumming all messages, ACK:ing, and storing it in flash on failure. Turned out I couldn’t send a specific 8 byte long message, if sent communications would be corrupted.

It is obvious when looking at them that some have had more detail than others; the sunrom one is very minimalistic, for example. How would anyone here just happen to have the firmware for a commercial device? What could.
