    Y'know, I haven't actually needed the PC-side code yet. Both of my first projects are keyboard emulators and as such, they use the built-in HID drivers.

    That being said, I did snag a copy of VB to use for testing. I just haven't needed it yet. If you send me a rough project idea, I'll send you back a copy of the PC code. I believe you can choose between VB, HiTech C, and something else.

    What I won't share, out of respect for the folks who created the software in the first place, is the PIC code.

    I've spent the better part of a year trolling around the USB-IF forums and reading their associated documents. Jan's (excellent) book is a must-read.

    I tried writing out my descriptors by hand and was surprised to see how many little things I missed when I compared the output to HIDMaker.

    It's (now) amusing to read through the Microchip USB forums... Many of the problems people are facing now can be solved quickly and automagically with HIDMaker.

    Unfortunately, PBP is for wimps because real engineers write their code barefoot in hex uphill during a blizzard.
