Hmm.. wonder how many of you have personal computers with (printer) parallel port and (RS-232) serial port. The future will be without those while I am still relying on parallel port a lot. Programming microcontrollers and flashing Nokia 3310 firmware.
I'm now looking at Microchip's microcontroller with USB support. Thinking of playing with USB. Can anyone tell where to get USB connector? Perhaps I start by making a smart card reader that plugs into USB. Yeah, I'm also looking for smart card connector.
Last time i built a remote control car controlled using computer through parallel port interfacing. I even interface it using normal gaming Steering, wheel and pedal too I'm now looking at Microchip's microcontroller with USB support. Thinking of playing with USB.

As for USB interfacing, u can try acquire USB development kit. One of my friends built USB device application using 'Cypress USB development kit'. I don't know much about Microchip USB development kit, i only know how to use PIC 16F84 only
P/s: Right now i am in middle of developing a small autonomous robot as my part time hobby. Is there any robot freaks here ?
