Software Serial Numbers
This is potentially a super basic question but I'm new to Arduino so please forgive me.
I want to communicate between a Unity application on my windows PC and the aforementioned board to control some LEDs. The board doesn't have a serial to usb chip so I can't use the usb port for serial communication.
(Board: Pro Trinket 5V/16MHZ (USB), Programmer: USBtinyISP) Uploading Code (You have 8 seconds to upload the code, plugging it in or hitting the reset button brings you to that 8 second bootloader.).
So I was thinking I could cannibalise a usb cable to expose the power and Rx and Tx lines and solder those directly to the board. Then in Unity I would just use System.IO.Ports to communicate with the board.
Would this work?

- How it works Since virtual serial port protocol isn't allowed for low speed devices. We have to find another way to communicate. First, understand that all communication on a USB bus is always initiated by the host (the computer).
