PIC MCU + USB Chip + USB hard drive = Lot's of sapce
PostPosted: Tue Jul 19, 2005 3:30 pm     Reply with quote
I have an external USB hard drive and would like to know:

Is it possible to use a 18F series MCU and a USB chip to make connection to an external USB hard drive?

Any article ???

You would have to implement a USB host. You would be better off using the IDE interface.

Mark's right. At this point, you can't make a USB host out of any PIC out there.

Do you have any reference for PIC to IDE?

Thankx

Your best bet would be to look at the MP3 sites. Some of them have ATA or IDE interfaces. The IDE interface is the easy part. The hard part is the FAT file system. If you search, you should be able to find some code out there. I cannot release the code that I have.
