Re: USB and Mac Support for IFI FRC Controllers???
I would imagine, if the RC were to have a usb port right on it, it would have a USB to serial chip right on the board. By providing their own converter either on the board or in the kit, they can control the parts that are used, only have to worry about 1 driver, and ensure that speed is acceptable. We have noticed problems using usb to serial converters and that some take significantly longer to program the RC than a real hardware serial port.
Also, there are several PIC's that have USB capabilities, although I am unsure if they allow in-circuit programming over USB.
