Hello,
I'm currently working on a project that currently uses an Arduino with a bunch of jumper cables attached to some female pins on a PCB I designed. However, ideally I would like to eliminate the Arduino in the future and just use a vanilla microcontroller soldered to a board with a couple other components, but the primary issue with this is that I need to be able to change the code running on the microcontroller fairly often, and I need to be able to control the microcontroller over USB or bluetooth from a computer nearby. Does anyone have experience implementing a USB or bluetooth interface similarly to the Arduino?
I understand that simple microcontrollers like the Atmega128P need an additional microcontroller to facilitate a USB interface, but I'm not sure how on earth to do it. If someone could point me in the right direction or tell me this is way to complex and I should stick with the Arduino I would much appreciate it.
