From input devices to sensors, terminals to loud speaker and connectivity devices such as WiFi, LAN, CAN, Bluetooth, MIDI, pretty much everything is available as USB device. Very little code is required to implement a complete application,\u201d says Rolf Segger, Founder of <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/segger-introduces-audio-class-support-for-emusb-device\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEGGER<\/a><\/span>. \u201cIt provides a great platform for makers, with almost unlimited possibilities. Anybody can build the hardware based on our schematics and PCB layout, or simply buy a board. Designing software for the board is easy.
