Hi All - would appreciate any thought or pointers on the following.
As a part of a project I am thinking to use a number of USB WLAN adapters, these would not be used as normal, instead they would plug in to my own little PIC processor board. the idea is a little PIC chip would communicate with the USB WLAN device, set its parameters and enable it to go on air - now these devices would all be visible on a main PC with a WLAN card. the devices would be used for example with a little temperature sensor and would send back the data to the PC or in some cases with different devices have a two way communication.
Now I have heard and read some about the Host Controller for the USB however, I don't see why my little USB and WAN and PIC device needs a Host Controller as long as the PIC sets up the registers in the USB device and initialize it to send and receive the data.
If I am on the wrong track, would appreciate some thoughts and feedback on this.
Thanks very much. Sean
