Hi.

We have a sensor that uses a PIC with USB interface to application software in a PC.

We'd like to also offer an Ethernet interface.  As sales rate is low, ideally we'd buy an adaptor box with Ether to the PC and USB to our system.  These are available for $30 from several companies.

But we think we may need help to get the PIC programmed to hook up, and maybe help to get our PC application code (National Instrument's Labview) tweaked to do Ether.

Any ideas?

Maybe, you are talking about USB-Ethernet dongles, like IOGEAR GUC210T.

Unfortunately, you can't use this kind of products. These products connect USB host (PC) to Ethernet.

To connect a USB device (your sensor) to ethernet, you need a Network USB hub / device server,
like Digi AnywereUSB, Lantoronix UBOX, etc.
