VF2F2 - back up Digital cameras to USB Flash Drives.

VF2F2 is a reference design for a VNC1L based stand-alone application.  VF2F2 illustrates how to construct a file back up device for a digital camera with a USB Mass Storage Class interface.  At the push of a button, all the picture files on the camera are copied to a unique folder of a USB Flash drive so that the digital camera memory can be re-used to take further pictures.  This is an ideal accessory for digital camera users who wish to backup their photos on the road without having to carry a notebook PC, or for people who want to share or swap their photos without requiring a card reader.  VF2F2 is powered by two AAA size alkaline batteries.
