Propplug as simple USB interface?
![Oldbitcollector (Jeff)](https://forums.parallax.com/uploads/userpics/867/nV6URMYKHT1D6.jpg)
Sometimes not knowing the rules is good way to think outside the box,
(of course sometimes it just reveals real ignorance... [noparse]:)[/noparse] I'll risk it..
Question: Alternate propPLUG use.
(Re:That expensive little chip on the propPLUG that handles USB communication.)
Is it possible that it could be used as a go-between to connect simple usb
devices to the Prop?

The USB to serial chip used on the prop plug isn't really that expensive. I believe it's less than $4 in single quantities.
Looks like a handfull at my current level of understanding.
I've got a workaround in mind for my current project, but it sure
would be nice to have prop access to the millions of USB devices out there....
