Hi,

I have just completed initial testing of a basic HIDMaker FS application with a PIC 18F2550. I can upload and download data successfully.

My initial observations is that the VB application 'seems' cumbersome and slow. Now it can most likely be tweaked and refined, but I find the initial code quite large (10 lines of 30 bytes down to PIC, 1 byte up to PC).

At first I found EasyHID intimidating to a total newb, not quite sure what to do with what. I also thought it was very limitting with variables lengths of only 64 bytes, but I just realized now that nothing is stopping me from writing multiple records (d'uh).

For those of you that have used both software, how would you compare them? Has anyone else noticed a 'slowness' with a HIDMaker FS application?

I'm at the point where I'm deciding if it's worth continuing to refine the HIDMaker code, or start fresh with EasyHID. Either way I know I have quite a bit of work to do, I'd just like to hear about experiences and see how others might have fared.

I admit I'm leaning towards EasyHID a lot right now.
