Has anyone managed this? I believe it is possible? Not sure I want to buy a pickit and use it with a mac if I dont have to.

Cheers
Ben

I think it would be easier to get someone with a Pickit (eg. me) to program it with a boot loader instead of messing
about. Although what you want to do is theoretically possible (I think it is, anyway!) it would need a hell of a lot
of work to pull it off and would be horribly slow.

Thanks chaps! If one of you has a programmer spare that I could borrow, that'd be great! :)

I found this:


Not sure if it will work. Im basically building one of these:


Looks pretty straight forward. TBH, If I knew of an AVR Chip that had USB support I'd probably have used one of these instead.

You obviously didn't read the Minimus thread, there was a bulk buy of these:

I have a spare PicKit2 that I can lend you (might be easiest if I just post it to you since I'm not in London), contact me with an address I can post to, and I shall do that.  Alternatively, there's always the Forebrain dev boards which I designed: http://www.universalair.co.uk/control/forebrain

Thanks all. Im thinking the minimus might work alright as a joystick controller. Probably not worth posting the picit but thanks anyway :)

It'll definitely do this, there is actually an example with the LUFA
libraries for HID Joysticks :)

There is a PicKIT3 in the USB development box.

There *should* be a PICKit 3 in the USB box but I've borrowed it :-)

I'll be bringing it back later today.
