1. USB Project (22nd July)
Ian Coulter

2. Open communication
Made a DLL that can tell the USB is attached and will open communication with the ADC board
This appears to work as it is able to tell whether or not a USB is connected

3. Close communication
Tried adding another function that would close communication with the ADC
Not present in the USB Interface code and so may not be required
Will leave for now and come back to if it seems necessary

4. Send commands
Currently adding a function to the DLL that will download the HEX file to the cypress chip
The HEX file lets the cypress chip know how to convert the hexadecimal commands input from the computer to binary commands used by the ADC board

5. Send commands Seems to find the HEX file OK
Problem appears to be that it doesn’t know the device is attached
Could be an issue with the WinDriver code that I haven’t found yet or could be a problem with the “open USB” command

6. The future
Need to write a function that will input the commands to ADC and give it values for number of readings, selected channels, etc …
Also need to take data out of the USB cable and write it to file in some sort of readable form
