uCDrive
uCDrive is designed to allow microcontrollers to appear as pen drives on a PC through a simple serial port connection. Used with our file systems (TINY and THIN) it gives a new dimension to product development and management with microcontrollers. The most effective way – cost-wise and resource-wise – to access a microcontroller from a PC is through a serial port. In this way, a simple 3-wire connection can be used to enable a PC to manage configuration, diagnostic, datalogging and field upgrade functions, safely and reliably.
An application (uCSynch) runs on the PC. When it detects a uCDrive enabled microcontroller on a serial port it automatically creates a drive (by default U:) under Windows Explorer. Then uCSynch synchronizes the files on the microcontroller with those in the PC. The drive can then be used as any other drive. You can record a wav file on the microcontroller and simply double click on it for it to play on the PC. Alternatively you can drop a wav file to the U: drive and get the microcontroller application to play.
