hey guys,
quick question, can I transfer data independently on a GPIO port? For example can I input data on one GPIO pin and output data on another simultaneously? I not using a microcontroller I'm just using a simple USB 2.0 controller.

TIA

You are asking the equivalent of "Can my calculator add numbers together? I'm not using a calculator I'm just using a simple MP3 player".

Try posting details of the device you are using and what you are trying to do.

Ok, specifying that it wasn't a microcontroller may have been irrelevant, but asking if I could transfer data in a parallel manner wasn't, besides i didn't know so I had to learn sometime. And what makes you think that I'm not new to this field, obviously someone new to this field would find the usage of a GPIO port on a USB controller a bit ambiguous.

And you still didn't provide any details of the device you are using or what you are trying to do.

I'm not trying to make anything I'm just learning about USB controllers

Then buy Jan Axelsons USB complete book and give it a good read.
