USB interface

I am new to stamps so I am sorry if this is a dumb question.
Can I get a stamp to connect to a PC via the USB port?
I want to send data back to the PC but can I write a program that
allows the stamp to communicate on the USB port?
thank you for your time and have a good day

I did not want to buy another product I was trying to use the stamps
I/O pins to interface with the USB port. a USB to serial adapter is
not what I am trying to achieve.
I have been looking at the dlp product but it looked like they used a
pic controller to do the interface USB245

Is there a Mac OS X driver for this bad-boy? Is one needed?

I use a keyspan USB to serial converter on Mac OS X it comes with
drivers, it really works well.

or anything else for that matter, over USB? What controller did you
use. How did you interface it?
there are others) is made by Bafo. See the link below.

USB right in to your projects.

I have some pointers on my web site on how to get these going
with a Stamp.

1. You can very easily buy a USB to serial adapter
(I like the KeySpan 19W), load the driver, and
use this to talk to the Stamp's serial port.
Thus, "it is easy to interface Stamp with USB".
2. If you want your Stamp to be a 'native' USB
slave device, an earlier post had a web-site
which has interface I/C's, along with free
drivers which make them look, again, like
Serial Ports, but really high speed ports.
They have a couple of interfaces out to the
Stamp (SPI and parallel, I believe).
3. If you want your Stamp to be a USB 'master',
and connect USB slave devices to it, I don't
know of a way to do this. I'm sure there
are websites having 'Stampish' solutions.
The point is, if you want a good answer, you
must specify if you want your Stamp to be a
'slave' or 'Master', is 232 emulation enough,
and be aware that some USB driver code is
needed on the PC even if your Stamp IS a
'slave'.
