If USB is a topic of major interest to you, then it will be worth hastening down to the [1] Bristol Trade Counter on March 25.

Your hosts will be RS Components and Microchip, and in a one day seminar they will aim to provide an introduction to USB, covering specification and protocol, the USB peripheral in Microchip’s PIC18F USB microcontroller. It will conclude with some tips on specific system level design.

Now you should be familiar with the Microchip MCUs and have a working knowledge of MPLAB C18. It’s a hands-on class and attendees will get an introduction to the MPLAB C18 USB firmware library and will receive instruction on how to select a Windows driver to interface a Windows program to a USB device.

The venue is RS Components Trade Counter in Bristol and the event runs from 9am to 4.30pm. Cost is £80 which includes lunch and a Microchip PICDEM FS-USB demo board.
