The MCP2200 USB-UART transceiver has 8 GPIO pins. Yes, you read that correctly. With such unexpected I/O capabilities, I feel obliged to do the only responsible thing: blink LEDs. Seven LED outputs and one input for a push-button to control direction of the “chase” sequence. As simple C program using the hidapi and we’re done! As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub
