Hi, but can't i use the builder as it is to write a code that
for example send the character 0xA2 throught the USB? or can't
i write a code that read byte from the USB? must i use 
additional components beside what i already have in the builder
right now?

Also, what is the advantage in the speed when using USB and not
RS-232 communication? is there a big different between this two
types?

Thanks,
Ramy
