suggest: use v-usb for storage device

Post by kidswong999 » Thu May 12, 2016 5:06 pm

With ESP8266, uploading code file is difficult, because ESP8266 has no USB controller, not pyboard.
But, there are some way to create a usb device.
1. use another chip with USB controller, like ATmega8U2.
2. use another chip without USB controller, like ATmega8, and use v-usb to simulate a USB device.

the second one is cheaper.

maybe the solution works?
