#10560 Well,
Be aware the usb has a very strict clock. Almost no tolerance. A MCU supporting usb often has a separate clock for the usb plus separate firmware so that non usb operations don't interfere. There is a difference between what might be possible and what might be reliable.

#10663 Thanks folks. I guess an alternative might be to look for a purpose built chip to do the USB interfacing, and leave the ESP to do the wifi part of it.
