Speaking of USB connectivity, the FTDI chip offers legacy support for 
the serial bus to USB.  This seems to be a common way to connect USB 
to a microcontroller.   

This method also offers the possibility of the program on the PC 
recognising your device name so your device name will show up on the 
screen when it is pluggged in.   As I understand this part, to be 
recognized as the onwer of a specifi name, you need to register and 
buy the name.  But for hobby use, I don't think there is much chance 
of conflict with others.
