Hello,

i'm a newby on this forum.
I read and search the forum but i can't find some answers on my problem's

i build a test project around an ATmega8 running on 12Mhz attached is an lcd, backlight goes through the pwm. (schematic by lcd2usb project)

1) is it possible to send 512 bytes of data to the controller? (this is becaus i wan't to make an interface to a glcd)
2) is it possible to send more than 8 bytes at once to the controller ?
3) when i write 255 bytes, according to the output to the display all datapackets are writen. but when i use buffer[255] to control the backlight this won't work, what could be the cause of this?


you have to see this project, more as a learning project. I'm pretty new in C++ normaly i am a hobby programmer in Delphi. so the program on windows side is written in Delphi :)

This example should run on most AVRs with only little changes. No special
hardware resources except INT0 are used. You may have to change usbconfig.h for
different I/O pins for USB. Please note that USB D+ must be the INT0 pin, or
at least be connected to INT0 as well.
We assume that an LED is connected to port B bit 0. If you connect it to a
different port or bit, change the macros below:

you can set it in chunks like so.

while (!usbInterruptIsReady()){ usbPoll(); } usbSetInterrupt((void *)&reportBuffer + 0, 8);
while (!usbInterruptIsReady()){ usbPoll(); } usbSetInterrupt((void *)&reportBuffer + 8, 8);
while (!usbInterruptIsReady()){ usbPoll(); } usbSetInterrupt((void *)&reportBuffer + 16, 8);
while (!usbInterruptIsReady()){ usbPoll(); } usbSetInterrupt((void *)&reportBuffer + 24, 8);
while (!usbInterruptIsReady()){ usbPoll(); } usbSetInterrupt((void *)&reportBuffer + 32, 8); ...

if you want to send more at once you need to abuse 1.0 standards. You would need to try this
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4776&p=16050#p16050

Maybe using bulk in will allow it but I dont have any experience with that.

512 maybe pushing it a bit....
