I'm new to the micro-controllers, Can anyone tell me how to flash msc1211? And is it possible to program msc1211 from host pc via usb to serial data converter like TUSB3410?

Yes, you can flash it via Serial but for that you need to build "In-System Programmer".
MSC1211 is 8051 based microcontroller and it behaves similarly. This link can help you in designing the circuit.
With this cicuit, you can download your hex file to MSC1211.

I am working on the ATMEL ATtiny1616 micro-controller.
I am looking for a (Linux C/Phython based) serial bootloader application to program the ATtiny1616.
Will you please help me to know, Where I can get the source code for it?
I'm going to use pyupdi for these new tinies (ATtiny814 which has the same programming protocol).
For now, pyupdi
Can read/write fuses
Can write FLASH
Can not read/verify FLASH
Can not read/write EEPROM
UPDI is another way to program the ATtiny1616. But as I said, I would like to program the ATtiny1616 using the Serial Bootloader Application.
I have found a reference link on the site of the microchip. Serial Bootloader Application
& this application will work for me.
I am trying to write a program that emulates a gamepad in such a way that windows recognizes it as a gamepad, but it is actually controlled by my own code.
I have tried to create a virtual COM port and try to make windows recognize it as a gamepad, but without much luck.
Does anyone know a way to do something like this, or could maybe give me some pointers on what might be worth trying?
The HIDUSBFX2 sample driver (hidusbfx2.sys) demonstrates how to map a non-HID USB device to a HID device.
On Windows 10 there is new Virtual HID Framework (VHF) that is intended for same purpose.
Good evening ..
I'm new in the microcontroller ..
I have studied a course on "pic 16" and As I knew the pic16 needs an external device to burn hex file in rom .
Now I want to study the pic24 And I found something called usb in pic24 ..
Can I burn the hex file without an external device via a usb ?? Or this is another term has not related to burning hex file ??
Is there a way to burn the file without an additional device ??
And also in the pic32 Are there any types of it can be directly connected without the use kit3 ??
I do not want to buy kit3 :\
Is the kit3 can Programming all kinds pic microcontroller (16,24,32) ??
Sorry for extension
and Thank you very much
The PIC32 starter kits have a debugger/programmer built in. Otherwise there is no way.
Yes, you can burn a hex file without an external device via USB. The term to look for is “Bootloader”. Many Microchip devices can allocate and protect a section of memory for bootload firmware providing the means to self-program.
If you’re buying a demo board with a bootloader pre-installed (and as long as you don’t over-write the bootloader) you can upload hexfiles and run them without an external programmer. But if you build your own board you’ll need a programmer at least once to load the bootload code.
And yes, the PICkit 3 can be used to program a wide variety of Microchip devices. The document Device Support.htm in the release notes of MPLAB X has a matrix of devices and programmers.
unfortunately i've never used pic24 family, but if you're going to try pic32 try to take a look here:
pic32-avrdude-bootloader
It works with avrdude, the same bootloader used by Arduino boards and it's not much hard to use properly. I don't know if there's a way to use also serial monitor via usb, but if you debug with mplabx you don't need it
Ciao!
I wonder if I understand correctly...
Say, if I want to control how my mouse work, i.e Left Button open window, Right Button send keystroke 'A' etc.
But I am not talking about writting something like follows in an application:
void MouseDown(xxxxEventArgs e, sender object)
{
}
I want to completely controls how the device work, then I will need to write a driver for it? From what I learn in assembly before, controlling a device I should need to know their port to communicate with the device. But say if I buy a Logitech mouse, is it possible to write a mouse driver myself to use it?
Because I saw some project that they buy a usb web cam from store, and they could able to control the web came to rotate, recevie the image from the web cam, I wonder if that's because the web cam has API provided them?
Thanks in advance.
If you want to control the device in it's entirety, then you need to write a device driver indeed. This is a non-trivial task and you should read up on it. There is a tutorial on it here and there a book for windows driver development here.
If you want to write device drivers, you should be very well versed with C and/or C++.
You do not need to write a device driver for what you are trying to do.The device driver has nothing but as per the data sheet of the device address of registers where it can read,write,do IOMMU etc or some other stuff.What you will need is some kind of hacking the application programming part of the thing which you are trying to achieve.
Because device driver code just reads the data from device and writes back it is the application which is concerned for it.Though in some case device driver programmer provide a method (function) to application programmer so that they can write their application and invoke those methods.In your case you need to just understand how the application code is talking to device driver.
In case you want to write a device driver check this

In such kind of cases you can proceed with writing your own device driver by C++ and assemb

im trying to interface a Gramin usb GPS to get the coordinates in a visual basic project, but i dont have an idea how to accomplish this, anyone point me out in the right direction please?
If the Garmin unit uses an RS-232 (standard serial) interface, then its USB driver probably implements a virtual serial port that you can open using the MSCOMM control.
Check that by opening the Hardware Manager and see if there's an extra port, maybe even labeled 'Garmin', while it's plugged in.
There are simple, standard text protocols used by GPS units. As long as no other app has the port open, you should be able to open it in VB and capture the output with a little experimenting for baud rate, etc. 4800,8,N,1 is a good place to start.
