Microcontroller with USB communication capability to be controlled by Labview

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5500

Hey Team,

Im looking for a cheap microcontroller with USB communication functionality.  I know there are other communication protocols like SPI, I2C, and UART and I would be interested in any examples you might have involving labview control.  However, I still prefer one with USB communication.

My motivation for such a microcontroller to communicate with a computer running labview is that I need to have a controlled sequence of using various equipment for testing a device.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Patrick,

    the lowest cost MSP430 with USB on chip, is the MSP430F5500.

    If you check the device webpage, you'll find This document will give you a good starting point on MSP430 and & USB.

    I am not aware of any LabView related code example with MSP430 and USB. What I can say, in LabView one can select a COM port for reading in data or for control functions. The above collateral tells how to setup an MSP430 implementing a virtual COM port. Thus it should help you also from that perspective.

    Best regards

    Peter
