Opensource Generic HID USB Framework – PIC18F4550

If you’ve dabbled with PIC18F microcontrollers and the USB Generic HID standard before (perhaps you’ve even tried my Building a PIC18F USB device project) then you will have noticed that there is a lot of complexity in supporting USB on both the PIC18F and the Windows host-side of things. Getting beyond the basic steps of [...]

Front Panel Designer 4.0 released

The new Version 4.0 runs under Linux, Windows and MacOS X and offers an
integrated import filter and export filter for DXF files as standard.
The import of DXF files makes the design of exterior and interior
contours possible without restrictions, which means that the design of
front panels is not limited to simple geometric shapes. Consequently the
design of [...]
