A while ago I bought the book USB Complete, third edition from Jane Axelson. If you search for this book with filetype:pdf on google you will find both editions. :D

Very good book with C++ /VB.NET examples. The second edition has C++/VB6 examples.

avoiding flamewars ....

I've read this topic, found it closed. I find the closure very immature and undemocratic. Just to avoid a flamewar. Rings go and behave yourself.

This is the same behaviour as the director guy of PowerBasic, don't immitate him Rings. You don't need to modarate it in this way and purebasic is as it ...

BleuTooth

Hi,

Another option is to use the WT11 (Wrap Thor) from Bluegiga. It is a very good device (the best) that at the moment is connected to the ArduinoBT. Yes, the Arduino has nothing to do with PB but separate aquired you can connect the BT11 to your serial port with voltage level switchers or by a ...
