And play with it.
That should cover most scenarios.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
Hi,
Anyone know where I can get easy HID from?
The links at the start of this thread no longer work.
Regards

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

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.
Tom
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?

I will try again tomorrow. How does it know where to place template? I have both 2005 & 2008 vb installed.
Thanks for your swift reply.
Tom
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.

Sorry I have not answered your question, I am using XP not Vista.

Thanks for your help, Template does now work fine with 2008 Express vb

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
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:

I found something else: www.create.ucsb.edu/~dano/CUI/ It's programmed in C but seems interesting
