thanks
What chip are you referring to? Most USB/TTL chips act as a USB device. You would need a USB host. FTDI makes a few nice USB bridges, but they are all devices. USB was designed to make devices simple, but unfortunately this makes hosts harder.

Dan, I wish you well. When you get it working, please share with us. I'd be really interested for my own projects.


Yet another option would be the Cypress CyFi. http://www.cypress.com/CyFi

Cypress has the most impressive analog processors I've encountered, I can't say enough good things about the PSoC. I haven't tried their wireless yet, but it may be worth a shot. A rep claimed that they spec 10m, work at 30m, and can hit 1km with a power amp. Reps do lie for a living, but I tend to believe this one.
