EasyHID and USB for Newbies??
Hi All,
Any info to help a newbie would be greatfully received. How to use EasyHID software and program a USB microchip?
Basically, I would love to replace my old 'mock-up' joystick (connected to rudder pedals) that use the PC game port and build a USB controller.... for starters ;) I heard that USB has better accuracy than the game port.
Cheers
Oh, and Happy New Year too. :-)
Why people are so afraid of???
Since cash is involve and you don't want to loose any of these green crispy money bill, GOOD NEWS (not really a news but) YOU Don't need to buy them... Microchip offer Free demo... see their website and open an account. Free of charge, freee shipping and blah blah... yeah of course there's some limitation in the quantity but... it's still free.

I'm a bit hesitent to buy one of these chips until I have all the facts and a pretty good 'How to' Guide.
It will never hurt to try
They will never bite you
The worst case, you'll learn something new OR, also possible, waste your time.
EasyHID is completely free
EasyHID Wizard is completely free. It is not time limited in any way and it does not have any nag screens!

Hi
I was wondering what I might be doing wrong...
I used HIDMaker to make an input device. Im using the standard HID descriptors, so I am not writting any PC side software.
Everything is working well, but I have two analog inputs. They are both set to words so i can use the 10bit a/d. but when I look at the input on the computer its only 8 bit. and if i right justify the results i am only getting a change of 3.... which is what i would expect if it was only sending 8 bits.
hrm........
if i do some math (invert one input) i can offset the output to 10 bits, so is my a/d conversion 8 bits?
I have used 10 bit inputs on other projects with other pics and I have never ran into this problem before.
I have everything set up.
DEFINE adc_bits 10
TRISA = 255
TRISB = 255
ADCON0 = 0
ADCON1 = %00001101
does anyone have any idea what im doing wrong?
