PIC18F and PyUSB

I finally got a clearer idea on how to use the PyUSB libray. PyUSB is simply a python binding/wrapper for libusb. There are only few examples of python scripts I found on the net regarding the use of PyUSB. Also, the documentation for PyUSB is not that comprehensive yet.

On the USB device side, fortunately, Microchip has provide a LibUSB example for their PICDEM Full Speed USB demo board. Aside from the firmware for the PIC18F4550 family (includes PIC18F2550), they also provided a simple demo (Windows) application (with source codes for MSVC++ and Qt). It's a good opportunity to study LibUSB library along its generic usb device driver.
After some trial&errors on my python script, I finally made my PyQt GUI program working. (Most of my mistakes on the PyUSB module usage were the incorrect types of arguments used in the pyusb functions).

Below is my proto circuit. Basically it's the same circuit I used in my PIC18F2550 USB HID Mouse project. I only added two LEDs on RB0 and RB1 pins of pic18f2550. I also included a 10k potentiometer on RA0 pin (ADC ANA0).

I made a minimal modification on the LibUSB example firmware by Microchip so that it will be compatible with PyUSB demo python script:

  1. Hi!, I'm doing an application in which I
    use python and the PIC18F2550 to acquire data.
    Can you upload or send your project files (. Hex,. C,. Py etc)? Please

  2. hi there "anonymous",
    here's my archive of the files for this project: http://www.4shared.com/file/200249447/c25238ac/PyUSB_and_PIC18F2550.html

  3. Yeah!, excellent job, very useful to combine projects with Python, USB and PICmicro's. Congratulations!

  4. Hello,

    I'm working on a similar project trying to make a python script to drive the PIC18F4550 of the demo board from microchip and being able to use this to communicate in I2C.

    It seems that your project is no longer on 4shared could you send it back I would be really interested in the way you did this project.

    Thanks in advance for your help !

  6. sir,,tanong ko lng po... pwede po ung bluetooth dongle ng cdrking interface sa pic18f4550... mahal kc ng bluetooth module.. naubusan na din sa gizmo.... thanks po..

  7. @raymundnilo
    usb interface kasi sir yung mga dongle ng cdrking.
    so, hindi kaya ng pic18f4550 mo mag-act as usb host.
    mas madaling gamitin yung module na uart-interface.

  8. thanks po...ung lmx9838 na ginamit nyo.. sa mga projects nyo..kit po bang nabibili yn,, tinignan ko kc sa rs... less 1000 lng,.. wla na kc ung sa gizmo... eh gusto ko po kc wireless ung ggawing ko ding project

  9. Thank you very much for posting your project,

    I'd like to use it with the PICDEM FSUSB from microchip. The goal is to make an Computer to I2C to EEPROM interface.

    I've tried your python script but an exception ('usb_detach_kernel_driver_np' not found) is raised. I guess it might be because of windows while this function is implemented only on linux OS.

    I've used the LibUSB simple demo firmware from microchip and the driver from microchip too.

    Any Idea to fix this problem?

    Thank you in advance

    Do you have any idea

  10. I found that the problem might be from my libusb version 1.0... do you know what I should do?

    ReplyDelete
  11. @Mesmerized
    as far as I remember, I've used version "0.1.12.2" of libusb and version "0.4.2" of pyUSB for this project.

  17. Hi, How do u program this pic??
    I mean which programmer do u use???

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks Yus, the information is exelent, I have tested this example on a pic18f4455 (with some changes in the compilation of c18, but the same main program) and it works OK, on a Windows Vista. But I don´t if is it possible to run on linux, I tried but the python program didn´t recognize it, and linux (ubuntu) did recognize the device when connected.

  20. Hi!

    It's very interesting your work. I'm programing a driver with Python and Linux Ubuntu and my IC are PIC18F24J50, but to plug the device Ubuntu open the folder /dev/usb/hiddev0 but it's impossible read the data. How open this port for read?

  21. Hi, thanks for this cute little project. Unfortunatly I can't get it running :-(. Which driver should I use for win 8? The hw is recognized as "Microchip Custom USB Device". I use Microchip's driver Ver 1.0.0.6 from 19/12/2007. VID and PID are correct, matching with the values in the python code. Still the HW is not recognized by the SW :-(. Did anyone experience the same? Thanks! regards,Tibor
