Using PIC18F2550 for connecting analogue
and digital signals to USB port . Included Visual Basic 6 code, VS2005 C++ and C# codes are based on Microchip code, PIC ASM code, PIC C code and a circuit diagram. The PIC microcontroller
has 10 bit analogue to digital converter. The circuit is powered
by the USB. The interface to the PC is HID class.
The inputs and outputs are updated every 10ms. HID class (human interface device) is a class of
devices like the mouse and the keyboard, the data transfer rate
is limited to 64KB/S. The PC already has a driver for HID USB. VB6 code includes guidance to setting up the PC.
The PC register the PID and VID (product ID) of the USB device when
it's plugged, the VB code uses these ID's to communicate with the
device. For commercial VID it is needed to buy it from USB-IF, but in your lab you can use any number. The source code is derived from freeware from these sources: http://janaxelson.com/usb.htm , http://openprog.altervista.org/USB_firm_eng.html
PIC18F2550
Pins 2-5 are the analogue inputs, voltage range 0 to 5V. Max input voltage
is 5.5V . 1K resistors are to protect the PIC.
Pins 25-28 are the digital inputs, TTL voltage levels.
Pins 21-24 are the digital outputs, they can sink or source 16mA.
Pin 14 is 3.3V internal supply for the USB transceiver. 0.22uF is
required for regulation.
Pins 15,16 are the data lines to the USB connector on the PC.
Pin 20 is the PC 5V powering the PIC. It is limited to 100mA by
the PC. 0.47uF is for decoupling.

14.04.2015 - 00:25 Name: Moty
Comment: You have to change the 'Build Option' settings from 'Generate absolute code' to 'Generate relocatable code' :
Menu > Project > Build Options > Project,
In the window select MPASM/C17/C18,
select 'Generate relocatable code',
Click OK
13.04.2015 - 17:12 Name: Moty
Comment: Hi Aymen, for asm use MPLAB 8.xx , you cannot use MPLAB X. Make sure your MPLAB is configured for PIC18F2550 MPLAB has compiler for ASM code.
Copy to the comments the errors maybe I'll be able to tell what is the problem.

09.04.2015 - 21:29 Name: Mohamed Sayed Comment: Moty. In a project similar to yours .the VB6 cannot send bytes to hardware. When I run the software for the 1st time and wait a while then press toggle LED button, Number of written bytes are 0 and no bytes were sent to hardware.. But when I don't wait and press the button just once the Form loads, It sends data .. Do you know how to fix that ???

Comment: Hi Fabio,
You can have up to 6 analogue inputs on the PIC18F2550. I don't have an example for that. I don't know why you can't have 2 USB devices working together on your PC, I have 2 devices working on my WIN XP PC.
14.08.2014 - 00:27 Name: Fabio Comment: Hi, this is a very good Project and it�s working great, but I would like to have 5 or 6 analog input. Is it possible to have such inputs? If so, where do I have to change on the program? Could you send me any example? Another problem I see is when I attach more then one devices, even with diferente PID&VID, the first device is disconnected by the second one.
14.04.2014 - 21:55 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Rathish, I don't have problems with Win 7 for this project. My firmware is for pic18f2550.
14.04.2014 - 13:29 Name: rathish Comment: Hi ,
Few months before I download your usb 4 adc input program ,first time it was worked with my 18f4550 chip. recently I use the same chip for the same program. My os win7 now not recognizing it. My os also shows it is counterfeit problems.
26.10.2013 - 15:34 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Tharindu
It is possible to add 4 outputs. To do that you need to re-assign the PIC pins, rewrite the PIC code and to rewrite the VB code.
I don't have the prototype so I can't try it.
26.10.2013 - 03:25 Name: tharindu Comment: your program for to 4 out put but i want to 8 out how program asm code give me simple example

I do not care to lower the full scale, I would like to read value in the corresponding voltage. I'm not able to modify the source code visual basic. if possible I would like it to be displayed with 50V input 5V in analog inputs.
thanks, see you soon!

14.09.2013 - 22:36 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Matteo.
The VB program can be changed to have less than 5V full scale. Can you change the VB source code yourself? if not I can do it for you after you let me know what voltages you want to read.
14.09.2013 - 17:31 Name: matteo Comment: hello, have matteo, from Italy.
I tested your project and works very well!
I would like to ask a change, you can add each voltage next to scroll bars each voltage in volts (ej.: 2.8V 4.5V etc.)?
thank you very much, please contact me on my mail shark97@tiscali.it

02.04.2013 - 01:17 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Israel,
I could find Master-Prog information in Spanish only. It appears like people have problems using it. Check if you can find people's comments on using it on pic18f2550. If I find something I'll let you know. It is difficult for me to tell what can be the problem without looking at your setup.
01.04.2013 - 04:52 Name: Israel Comment: Monty, and downloaded the usb counter, my PC still does not know the device, and so I switched Proto and nothing happens. I have some questions:
If the pic is wrong, the developer should give me an error, is not it? In this case would have to change pic. (For me the pic work properly)
If the developer is wrong, you also send me a write error, no? (but I programmed correctly with this device)
01.04.2013 - 04:23 Name: Israel Comment: I use the MASTER-PROG programmer, and if indeed I have done projects with PIC 16F84A and the correction function.
At this point try with usb counter.
As I have echo, informs him of the events.
Thanks for listening.
01.04.2013 - 02:44 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Israel.
The folder ASM contains files for the project written in asm code. Folder C-GPL contains files for the project in C code. The codes are only similar in the way they operate the project. I recommend to use the C-GPL hex file but if you want to modify the code and you use asm code then you have to use the asm hex.
You can try to program the pic to both hex files and see if any of them work. You can also download the code of the USB COUNTER project and try to program the pic with it, don't build the circuit of the USB counter just write the hex and try if the PC recognizes the device. If the PC doesn't recognize any of the 3 hex files then it is likely that the problem is not with the hex.
What pic programmer do you use? have you ever programmed successfully another pic? Make sure your programmer inserts the configuration bits. You can't use bootloader with these hex files.
01.04.2013 - 01:11 Name: Israel Comment: Hi Moty.
Now I have such circuit as in the diagram, I did what you told me and all drivers are okay, do not fail me other than a bookstore?
My PC does not recognize the device when connected and when I do them only 3 LEDs light up with the .hex of the C-GPL folder. I have no idea what could be the error, hope you can help me.
Thank you.

30.03.2013 - 22:27 Name: Moty
Comment: Hi Israel.
If your PC works OK for USB mouse or keyboard then you already have HID driver. It is normally installed with XP. You can try updating your drivers with this Microsoft download:
http://xpdrivers.com/microsoft/_2_135761.cfm?gclid=CPfXwZeopbYCFW_KtAod6B4AIw
You can also search HP for updated drivers for your model.
Make sure that the connections to the USB are correct and that the crystal is 4MHz. Don't use a bootloader
to program the PIC, most of them require special firmware. Good luck and
don't hesitate to ask more questions.

Try running the PIC with pins 2,3,4,5 connected to pin 8 (earth). If you still read analogue outputs then it can be the software. Are the digital inputs and outputs working well?

sorry
with out connecting any analogue input have signal its my problem.i check earth connection (pin 8 & pin 19)not problem.wire connection is 1 m lenght. i replace 10 uf with 0.47 but i have signal.i dont know i confuse.
may be from pic firmware.?

Comment: Hi Ali,
I assume you mean that the analogue output readings aren't stable. Try to connect the analogue inputs of the PIC to earth and if the readings are stable then check your signals for noise. Try to use short USB lead. Try to increase the 0.47 capacitor to 10uF, that will remove noise from the 5V supply.
