How to build custom USB human interface devices

Have you ever wondered, how USB-Peripherals, such as mice, keyboards, slideshow-presenter-gadgets, joysticks and joypads work? Do you have a wacky idea for a USB-connected foot-pedal or a custom volume or multimedia controller, but didn't know how to connect your electronics to a computer?

If there is interest in the topic, I would prepare a presentation and hands-on-workshop for Wednesday or Thursday Afternoon.

In the presentation I'd introduce you to the long, boring specs of the USB-HID standard, which shall serve to give you some nifty ideas on what you could possibly build, apart from custom or minimal keyboards and game controllers. I can also demonstrate some silly things you can build, from the mythic Any-Key, to mouse jigglers and on to automation solutions and interactive menu-systems.

If there is further interest, I can expand this into a hands on workshop: I'll bring the Microcontrollers with USB-Plugs (Digispark clones), you bring the buttons, switches, potentiometers, rotary encoders or sensors and I can help you set up your system to program the MCUs with the USB-stack and get you started reading the GPIO-pins that you solder to your inputs.

Are you interested?

  • sva has to re-install her phone anyway since a while, and planning to do so for Sunday during the day.
  • if you wanna join please contact me (e.g. telegram or mail) with the exact model info of your phone, then we can see what alternative Operating Systems can be done
  • else you can also join me and watch how its done
