It was sunny outside.
About two years ago.
Norway isn’t a very sunny country, so when the sun is shining I need to take advantage of that.
So I made myself a little wall of cardboard to protect my laptop screen from the sunlight. This way, I could sit in the sun while working.
I was working on the firmware for an HDMI touch screen.The USB protocol was new to me, so I spent a lot of time reading about it…
…then testing out what I read, using the open source library LUFA.

If you want to build your own custom USB gadget, here are the steps you need to take. I’ve added links for more info on each step:
1. Learn basic electronics and start building some circuits:
2. Learn to use a microcontroller:
3. Learn how the USB protocol works
4. Learn to use the LUFA library:
Keep on Soldering!
