+========================================================
+
+This folder contains Arduino code and host software to
+demonstrate HID-class USB serial communication for AVRs
+using V-USB. The code and circuit design are based on V-USB
+http://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/index.html
+and USnoobie. It is designed to work for ATmega328 but
+can be adapted to other AVR microcontrollers as well.
+
+The software is written by Ray Wang at Rayshobby LLC

+
+========================================================
+
+The folders are organized as follows:
+
+- 'schematic' contains the circuit schematic and part list.
+
+- 'bootloader' contains the modified USnoobie bootloader
+  The bootloader is optional, but once flashed, it allows
+  the mcu to bootload (by pressing the button during power-on
+  or reset) as a usbasp programmer, so you will not need
+  any external programer to flash a program.
+
+- 'arduino code' contains the Arduino library for HIDSerial.
+  To use it:
+  * copy boards.txt (from hardware/arduino folder)
+    to the corresponding folder in your arduino installation
+    directory, and the HIDSerial library to your arduino's 
+    libraries directory.
+  * Run Arduino (the recommended version is 1.0.5 or 1.0.4).
+  * Make sure you select 'USnoobie' from Tools -> Boards
+  * If you use the USnoobie bootloader, select 'USBasp' from
+    Tools -> Programmer.
+  * Select any provided example from File -> Examples -> HIDSerial
+  * Upload
+
+- 'host software' contains the standalone applications and Processing
+   source code for HIDSerialMonitor. Please check the README.txt
+   therein.
