USB Code Generator Plugin

[David Barker]

There is a new PDS plugin available for download called EasyHID
Wizard. EasyHID will automatically generate PDS USB code, ready for
programming into a PIC MCU. EasyHID will also generate the application
code needed to talk to the PIC MCU via the USB Bus. Supported
languages include Borland Delphi, Microsoft Visual BASIC and
Microsoft Visual C++.

You can download from here...

Hi, its great to see you visiting our forum. Why not try Proton Compiler for FREE? Download the FREE version of Proton Compiler, Its called Amicus18 and its available from HERE Already using proton Compiler??? Get rid of these pesky messages... get LICENSED USER STATUS

This software is still BETA, so if you encounter any problems please
let me know.

EasyHID Wizard is completely free

I can't wait to try it out - thanks !

This sounds very exciting - it might just give me the confidence necessary to try using USB with PDS - thanks VERY much. I think I might also buy some ID's from mecanique - a great idea.

It really is easy to use. Earlier today I generated some PDS and VB code. The VB application could see when my USB PIC (18F455) was being plugged in and unplugged. I could also send some data from my VB application to the PIC, which then echoed it back. I did all this with NO additional PDS code and only a few lines of VB code.

Please let me know how you get on...

Hi David,
I have just checked the enumeration process and the link with Delphi application for the time, and it works very fine...
I'll do a better test with bi-directional com today ...

It is a great pluggin! If you can do the same for the generic driver of Microchip (underlaying on the mpusbapi.dll for example...), PDS will become the most powerfull (and the only one I think ?) integrated tool on the market...

Regards,

Robert

Well... that works!
I built PDS and Delphi code for a little standard application. The PC send requests to the device and the device must answer depending on the request... About fiften minuts for the whole...

Congratulations David...

It may just be my nasty background but it would be nice to see a .net target (c#) added to that list. Even converting from VB to VB.net is painful. (Delegates anyone...) Otherwise its great

[David Barker]

If someone can provide a 'template' program (similar to the VB, Delphi or C++ examples) then I would be happy to write a generator program.

K, I'll play with it for a while and see what I come up with...
