Well you can always use an arduino. They have some simple usb protocols.

i am not sure my teacher will accept it :( arduino is something like PIC ?

[ultifinitus]

Ya, it's based on the AVR micro.

You can also get a 3rd party lib. And you can get a usb to serial adapter.

I agree with ultifinitus, the easiest way is to use a USB to RS232 adapter. Otherwise you'll need the USB code for the AVR. FTDI make a number of USB to serial IC's and provide drivers for the PC.
