WinUSB driver for Arduino

I'm using an Arduino to read data from the web and display it. I can easily pass the data as serial using the supplied drivers, because they identify the COM port so I can send serial to the COM port.

However, I want to use 'real' USB techniques so the device can be plugged in and out like a normal USB device. I'm looking at using WinUSB as the driver. However, USB is all new to me. Is there an .inf fil开发者_如何学JAVAe that uses WinUSB and an Arduino (I have an Uno)?

The lack of information on this is making me think I am going about this incorrectly.

Turns out that an Arduino Uno is not a genuine USB device.

It acts as a Serial to USB adapter. Consequently USB drivers don't talk to it.

I got round this by writing a sketch which reported back what device it was when it got the correct query from the PC.

On the PC I just iterated the Serial ports and sent the query to each port. The one that replied was the Arduino.

After that I record the port number and send serial data to the Arduino.

To learn the USB portion, maybe you could combine V-USB and the UNO?

Check out V-USB.

V-USB is a software-only implementation of a low-speed USB device for Atmel’s AVR® microcontrollers, making it possible to build USB hardware with almost any AVR® microcontroller, not requiring any additional chip.

While not necessarily Arduino, it may provide you the learning exprience you want, and let you use incorporate your UNO device.
