hi everyone,
can someone please guide me on my project.
the scenario is this,
i will be having a GUI(Visual C++), that will prompt the user to enter the time/date that he wants to on/off a certain device via USB. since my protocol will be USB,so the data entered by the user will be passed on the pic microcontroller(PIC18f4550) via USB and the pic will be responsible to decrementing the time that the user input on the GUI. and the module can stand alone even if the GUI is not present as it was an independent device outputting on/off depending on the timer. its like your burning on the data to the pic18f4550 and setting that data as a count down/timer to on/off a certain device.
for example, ill input to on a certain device for 8 hours,and after pressing the start, the data from the GUI which is 8 hours, will be passed on the pic and the pic itself will execute/ decrement the 8 hours until it will become 0.
so,my problem is how to passed on the data from the GUI to pic18f4550 that will end up as a count down and if its 0, it will on/off a certain device.
ill be using mplab c18 as the compiler.
thanks for the advance replies
