DEV06 A Freely Programmable USB-Interface for eComStation

The presentation shows a possible way to overcome the barrier of missing USB drivers for eCS. Instead of programming one particular driver for a particular USB device, it explains how the already existing driver 'usbecd.sys' by Wim Brul can do the job easily.

Together with the famous USB interface module 'DLP-USB245M' and a microcontroller (MCU), the presentation shows how to build USB devices for eCS that can do digital I/O, analog I/O and a number of tasks originating from the world of Data Acquisition and Control (DAC). Two working examples written in VX-REXX are presented and some details of the USB protocol are mentioned as well.
