    See this one
    USBDemo, something to learn USB a little bit
    http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5418

    And play with it.

    That should cover most scenarios.

    Hi,

    Anyone know where I can get easy HID from?
    The links at the start of this thread no longer work.

    I think it's still available when you download the free version of MicroCode Studio.

    Default Using easyhid

    Hi
    Just to say I have recently installed easyhid to work with a pic18f4550 using the helm template to communicate with pc. On pc side I am using free 2005 vb express and all works great displaying 8 temperatures etc. e.g top of upright freezer -18 deg bottom -23 deg. Does anyone know if template will work with vb 2008, I have tried without success, any advice appreciated.

    Helm's one is mine, and yes it worked for me with VB2008 last time I tried (not for sure for express version though).

    What kind of problem you have with?

    you just sit the USBTemplate.zip file as-is in My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates\ folder (here My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Basic)

    I no longer have 2005 or 2008 express, but Visual Studio 2008 Pro. Can't tell if 2005 & 2008 work properly all together.

    Default easyHID game controller

    Hello everyone,
    I'm playing with the easyHID software and the great example USBDEMO (thank you mister E!) It works very well, but now I would like to program my PIC to act as a game controller so it will show up in the game controllers control panel. This way I will be able to use it with the Max/Msp programming language. I tried different PID/VID's but that does not seem to work. Anyone has an idea? thank you

    Default Me too

    Hi eggman,

    I was about to post a similar thread. I want to make a "joystick" card that has 8 axes, 32 button inputs, and 4 POV inputs, but I am having trouble finding what I need to do.

    I suspect it is all to do with the descriptor, and knowing what to do with it.
    I could not find a working link to easyHID, so I am using HID maker FS. Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards
    Bob...

    Hello Bob,
    Yes I delved a bit further into the USB stuff, the descriptor has to tell the host it is a joystick or game controller with so many channels and buttons. I don't think this can be done with easyhid, but maybe I'm wrong. Mechanique seems to have removed the easyHID download from their website but I found a copy here:
    http://www.4shared.com/file/40239912...c/EasyHID.html
    I found something else: www.create.ucsb.edu/~dano/CUI/ It's programmed in C but seems interesting

    http://www.mecanique.co.uk/products/usb/easyhid.html

    I have several projects for USB coming shortly, but in the mean time, I've
    loaded the files for a complete USB project on our website.

    The zip file contains PBP source code for a PIC18F4550, and VB source for a
    USB analog data-logger. Should be fun for anyone interested in tinkering with
    EasyHID and the new full-speed 18F USB parts.

    Here are the files: http://www.rentron.com/mcstudio/EasyHIDPrj.zip

    You'll need VB6 & SoftWire. You can download SoftWire from here. It's free.
    http://www.softwire.com/swdownload/softwiredownload.htm

    I used the activx controls in SoftWire for the analog meter interface. Really
    nice stuff.

    You'll also need PBP version 2.46 since this is the version offering support for
    the newer 18F USB parts.

    If anyone's looking for an excellent book on USB, then grab a copy of Jan
    Axelson's new 3rd edition of USB Complete. We just got them in. I spent the
    last few days reading mine, and it's awesome.

    Jan has done an outstanding job on her 3rd edition of this book. Even "I" can
    understand it now...;o]

    good day, just tried out the easyhid & got some problems here, haha... i got the error msg: unable to locate device item.

    can anybody tell me how can i rectify this problem??

    thanks alot
