FTDI USB-to-serial converters to drive SPI devices
Scott W Harden writes: The FT232 USB-to-serial converter is one of the most commonly-used methods of adding USB functionality to small projects, but recently I found that these chips are capable of sending more than just serial signals. With some creative programming, individual output...
