USB, HID and Joysticks (Non DC related).

Post by doragasu »

I have implemented a USB HID Joystick with a microcontroller with USB capabilities using this HID Report descriptor:

Code: Select all

char ReportDescriptor[44] = {
    0x05, 0x01,                    // USAGE_PAGE (Generic Desktop)
    0x09, 0x04,                    // USAGE (Joystick)
    0xa1, 0x01,                    // COLLECTION (Application)
    0x09, 0x01,                    //   USAGE (Pointer)
    0xa1, 0x00,                    //   COLLECTION (Physical)
    0x05, 0x01,                    //     USAGE_PAGE (Generic Desktop)
    0x09, 0x30,                    //     USAGE (X)
    0x09, 0x31,                    //     USAGE (Y)
    0x15, 0xff,                    //     LOGICAL_MINIMUM (-1)
    0x25, 0x01,                    //     LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (1)
    0x75, 0x02,                    //     REPORT_SIZE (2)
    0x95, 0x02,                    //     REPORT_COUNT (2)
    0x81, 0x02,                    //     INPUT (Data,Var,Abs)
    0x05, 0x09,                    //     USAGE_PAGE (Button)
    0x19, 0x01,                    //     USAGE_MINIMUM (Button 1)
    0x29, 0x0c,                    //     USAGE_MAXIMUM (Button 12)
    0x15, 0x00,                    //     LOGICAL_MINIMUM (0)
    0x25, 0x01,                    //     LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (1)
    0x75, 0x01,                    //     REPORT_SIZE (1)
    0x95, 0x0c,                    //     REPORT_COUNT (12)
    0x81, 0x02,                    //     INPUT (Data,Var,Abs)
    0xc0,                          //   END_COLLECTION
    0xc0                           // END_COLLECTION
};
It works flawlessly, but now I want to implement two joysticks with a single device (only one MCU chip). I have tried a lot of descriptors with no luck. If I define two COLLECTION(Application) items, it doesn't enumerate, if I define two COLLECTION(Logical) and also use USAGE_PAGE(Ordinals) and USAGE(Instance N), the device gets enumerated but only a Joystick is added with double number of buttons. I have also tried using different Physical collections and Report IDs, but I can't get it to work. Can this be done with a single HID descriptor? Or do I need to define 2 interfaces, 2 endpoints and 2 HID descriptors? Or isn't adding two Joysticks with a single device possible?

Finally I have found the way to do this, I had to use two REPORT_ID items, this is the descriptor I have used to get it working:

Code: Select all

char ReportDescriptor[88] = {
    0x05, 0x01,                    // USAGE_PAGE (Generic Desktop)
    0x09, 0x04,                    // USAGE (Joystick)
    0xa1, 0x01,                    // COLLECTION (Application)
    0x09, 0x01,                    //   USAGE (Pointer)
    0x85, 0x01,                    //   REPORT_ID (1)
    0xa1, 0x00,                    //   COLLECTION (Physical)
    0x09, 0x31,                    //     USAGE (Y)
    0x09, 0x30,                    //     USAGE (X)
    0x15, 0xff,                    //     LOGICAL_MINIMUM (-1)
    0x25, 0x01,                    //     LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (1)
    0x75, 0x02,                    //     REPORT_SIZE (2)
    0x95, 0x02,                    //     REPORT_COUNT (2)
    0x81, 0x02,                    //     INPUT (Data,Var,Abs)
    0xc0,                          //   END_COLLECTION
    0x05, 0x09,                    //   USAGE_PAGE (Button)
    0x19, 0x01,                    //   USAGE_MINIMUM (Button 1)
    0x29, 0x0c,                    //   USAGE_MAXIMUM (Button 12)
    0x15, 0x00,                    //   LOGICAL_MINIMUM (0)
    0x25, 0x01,                    //   LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (1)
    0x75, 0x01,                    //   REPORT_SIZE (1)
    0x95, 0x0c,                    //   REPORT_COUNT (12)
    0x81, 0x02,                    //   INPUT (Data,Var,Abs)
    0xc0,                          // END_COLLECTION
    0x05, 0x01,                    // USAGE_PAGE (Generic Desktop)
    0x09, 0x04,                    // USAGE (Joystick)
    0xa1, 0x01,                    // COLLECTION (Application)
    0x09, 0x01,                    //   USAGE (Pointer)
    0x85, 0x02,                    //   REPORT_ID (2)
    0xa1, 0x00,                    //   COLLECTION (Physical)
