Hi everyone.

I have a short cable, at the one end is a micro usb male and the other side is a usb A female. Nice to put a USB thumb drive on it. What software can I use to read the data off the stick onto a pic24 MM Board and display it on the TFT Glcd display. Is there any demo software please.

Thanks

Anton

Hi Anton,

You can use bootloader application, you can find it at the link bellow in section Bootloader:

Please take a look at user manual in order to see how to use the application (page 12):

Also, for creating projects, you may find interesting our Visual TFT tool:

Hi Lana
I am a bit confused how do I read a USB Memory stick using a bootloader. Please explain
I want to plug a Memory stick into the USB port of the PIC24 MMB and read the contents of the memory stick.

Hi Anton,

I'm sorry, I obviesly misunderstood you.
You need to use USB Host Library and FAT32:

You can install them using Package Manager:

When you install them, look in example Host_MSC.

Thanks for reply.

Once that is installed how do you talk to the stick.

Hi,

You're welcome.

I'm sorry, but unfortunately, you cannot read USB content with mikromedia since it cannot be USB Host.

You can use, for example EasyPIC Fusion, there is USB HOST connector on it:
