USB HID Joystick for Dummies

[scumari]

After reading the guide carefully and preparing the code, while compiling, i get varios errors about Simbols not previously defines.
this happens with USBDeviceInit, USBDeviceTasks GetUSB and PutUSB???

Should something be included here and what??

Thanx

Found a work arround.
Copy the hid_desc.bas file and all associated files to your working directory.
Copy the text made by DT.exe and changed by the ways of the Dummy Manual, into the 'ReportDescriptor1' part, overwriting existing code.

This should do the trick.
By this way I created a 6 axis,16 button pedestal.

Have fun

Can you upload project or pbp code and descriptor file?

A better way is to "INCLUDE" the file like so . . .

INCLUDE "hid_desc.bas"

The file MUST be in the same directory as the program you are writing.

Hi,

I have got my usb joystick working, but my axis starts in the centre moves to the right, to the left side then back to the centre as i increase the pot.

I am doing a simple "adcin, 0, USBBuffer[0]" as in your example.
I tried shifting the result 4 bits to the left but this just mixes it up onto 2 axes.
What am I doing wrong?

Doh, all i had to do is add 128 to the result, boy do i feel foolish :-)

Regards
Bob...

Hello all,

I am trying to convert my old joystick to USB Joystick.Since i am kinda new to USB,i plan to take this advantage to learn how USB works.I have tried CDC before & now HID.As a starting point,i searched for a example code & bumped to a site (www.starlino.com),an accelerometer based joystick.I downloaded the codes (which is in PBP) & researched the codes.After going through the USBDesc & tried the code (which worked very well) & i plan to expand it from original (2 Axis & 6 Buttons) to 3 Axis,Throttle & 8 buttons.I have modified the USBDesc & added some lines in source.To my suprise it connects to the computer (ting tong) & showed the axis,throttle & buttons in the gamepad configuration but it freeze in there.Whenever i press any of the buttons,i didn't work..i mean nothing happened.I have tried few methods but didn't work.Can anyone help me??.Attached codes together.

*PS - The attached code is only for x,y,z axis & buttons.

You help is kindly appreciated

Hello all,

Sorry.The above attached USBDesc have throttle & not Z axis.I have modified few of them but the result are the same.No response.One way around the Buttons should work,but in my case none of it is working.

hello all,

Ok.We make it simple here.I added Z axis but in the gamepad configurator it shows the Z axis but not working...
