I've been keeping up with the circuit python alpha and beta versions on my mag tag, and I'll definitely say the battery life has improved since I got it in adabox! Not sure where it's coming from, but I'll take it!

i just want to ask, lately i was working on a project using PIC 16f877a MCU, and as I go, I want to program it manually, I've succeeded actually, and i want to build small circuitry using a shift register, and i want to send the instructions from my PC directly through USB, and here's where i stacked, i cant use the USB directly, tried pyUSB, LibUSB, pyserial, and so on.
for that if u can help guys that would be awesome.
problem is, finding away to send data through USB data lines (D+, D-) .(with out any MCU or other USB devices ).
