USB RS232

[itznaidu]

hi,
I am using the V-usb bootloader for programming atmega8 over usb. This has saved a lot of money for my club. We fabricated boards based on this design. Later we found a glitch in this. If I want to communicate with my atmega8 over usb (RS232) I have to go for the serial connector via max 232 or I have use a usb to serial convertor like ft232.

So, is there any solution you can help me out with.


I tried AVR CDC, but when I tried to install the driver on my computer, my computer gives me a blue screen error. luckily it was my college computer and I did not dare to test that driver on my laptop.


help me please. Is there any way or not.
I will send some date from my computer and the atmega8 has to receive it. Its similar to powerswitch. but I am using mega not tiny. Help

Implement V-USB in your project instead of using the UART from the AVR chip.
