There are ways around having to spend $2000 with the usb-if. Google cheap usb pid for some solutions.

You really only need one to use the logo and for production, if you're just at a concept / testing stage you can just make one up. No official vendor ID 666 as been allocated for example I noticed a while back. Plus I'm not 100% sure you'd need one anyway, conflicts wouldn't be a problem if it's not meant to connect to a PC and you probably wouldn't need a USB logo, although I'm not sure on the legal side of things. | |
