I dug out my PIC stuff for the first time in over 5 years and installed the latest MPLAB IDE thing - which is a lot better than I remembered it being! (I made a Nintendo to Amiga joypad converter for my daughter as her 5yo fingers struggle with a joystick).

I might poke my head into using a PIC for USB serial, if I have a device capable of it in my box-o-chips just out of curiosity. The last time I did any USB on PIC it was all quite faffy and low level. But that must have been around 2003 and I was making a custom driver on the PC end too - so things may be easier? I have no idea where to start yet but will see how I get on for time!
