hi i3detroit

i was recently reading trough your blogs abd found out that our two spaces are working on a similar project.

so we had the same ideas and toughts in planning phase as you are having.

i think you are on a good way and i am really looking forward to see your final product.

i just want to tell you things that come to mind when i read your latest post.

vusb was written by christian, a fellow metalab member and it got used in quite a lot of projects around the lab.

while it is brilliant and works like a charme, it needs a lot of resources on the microcontroller side.

you wont have much resources to do other things than usb on the atmegas.

there are atmega chips with builtin USB controllers.

they are used on the teensy platform for example and that could save you a great deal of resource-allocation-trouble later on.

especially when you are new to MCU programming this might be a choice of straight forward implementation.

hack on!
