27MHz USB Dongle -  (application / block diagram added 6/07)
Accurate USB 2.0 temperature sensor needs only a handful of parts -  24-May-07 Issue of EDN  A USB-to-serial converter forms the heart of an accurate USB temperature sensor.... [Design Idea by Silvio Lauckner, Ismaning, Germany]
Add current boost to a USB charger -  19-Sep-02 Issue of EDN  The popular USB interface can charge a portable device while transferring data. But for high-capacity batteries, the 500-mA output current of USB hosts and powered hubs greatly extends the charging time. (Unpowered USB hubs supply nothan 100 mA.] Thus, a system that accepts charging power from an ac adapter as well as the USB port isconvenient.... [Design Idea by Len Sherman, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]
Advanced Topology USB Battery Charger Optimizes Power Utilization for Faster Charging -  DN336  Design Notes (Linear Technology) (app note added 2/06)
An Introduction to USB Descriptors: With a Gameport to USB Gamepad Translator Example -  Microchip Application Note Published 4-May-04  (app note added 3/06)

AVR In-System-Programmer -  USB AVR programmer that supports a lot of AVR microcontrollers.….(Circuit design added 03/09)
Bit Wacker-18F2550  -  This is an easy to assemble, through-hole version of the popular UBW board.  This is a spectacular little development board featuring the PIC18F2550. Based on the work of Brian Schmalz, the UBW is a small board with a command interpreter for basic input and output control. When attached to a Windows/Max OS X/Linux computer, the UBW will show up as an RS232 Com port! You control the individual I/O pins on the PIC through simple serial commands.  This is a kit and includes a pre-programmed 18F2550 and both male and female connectors so you can choose which connector you would prefer. ….(design added 11/08)
Bit Whacker-Simple input/ output device -  The UBW board is a small board that contains a Microchip PIC USB-capable microcontroller, headers to bring out all of the PICs signal lines (to a breadboard for example), only costs about $15-$20 to build and is powered from the USB connection. I designed this board to be a simple parallel port replacement tool for Bruce Shapiro for use in his bits-to-bytes-to-bots class. Apologies to all other 'Whacker' projects like EDTP's Packet Whacker for stealing a great name . All tools used to design this project are free, and the design is open to anyone to use for whatever they wish. Please build your own and improve upon it! ….(design added 11/08)
Build a UPS for USB devices -  11-Apr-02 Issue of EDN  Portable systems often include circuitry that derives power from an external source, such as USB. When the system disconnects from the USB supply, a battery takes over and supplies current via a dc/dc converter. A diode-OR connection (Figure 1) offers the easiest way to ensure that the supply voltage doesn't sag during this switchover to the battery.... [Design Idea by Mark Cherry and Jean-Claude Ailloud, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA, and France]
Build a USB-based GPIB controller -  16-Dec-05 Issue of EDN  Roll-your-own USB-based instrumentation bus.... [Design Idea by Boštjan Glazar, Marko Jankovec, and Marko Topic, Laboratory of Semiconductor Devices, Ljubljana, Slovenia; Edited by Brad Thompson and Fran Granville]
