yes you can do that but only in windows. Seems most linux based OS's will not enumerate.

To do this you just use multiple ID's.

0x05, 0x01, // USAGE_PAGE (Generic Desktop)
0x09, 0x05, // USAGE (Game Pad)

0xa1, 0x01, // COLLECTION (Application)

0x85,0x01, // Report ID 1 <-------------------

0x09, 0x01, // USAGE (Pointer)
0xa1, 0x00, // COLLECTION (Physical)
0x09, 0x30, // USAGE (X)
0x09, 0x31, // USAGE (Y)
0x15, 0x00, // LOGICAL_MINIMUM (0)
0x26, 0xff, 0x00, // LOGICAL_MAXIMUM (255)
0x75, 0x08, // REPORT_SIZE (8)

Emulating multiple HID devices on one Microcontroller?

2016-10-25T00:29:06+02:00

Hey guys,

I recently built a USB adapter for a console gamepad. I was hoping to extend it to support multiple gamepads -- and while just adding more buttons and axises to the USB descriptor works (at least, with some games), it will still only show up as a single gamepad to the PC (so, other games don't work as well).

Instead, I would like to report the device as being multiple HID gamepads -- this seems like it should be something we can do in the descriptor, right?

My project is basically a heavily modified version of the HID mouse example (it just reports a gamepad instead of a mouse, and then does actual polling of the gamepad to report back the state).

How should I attempt to accomplish this? -- What if I wanted to report two mice for example? -- i.e. how would I modify the HID descriptor in main.c (in the mouse example) to accomplish this?

Am I barking up the wrong tree? -- Can it be done with HID descriptors alone? -- Or do I need to do something with multiple end points instead?

EDIT:
FYI, my current HID descriptor (which crams two gamepads worth of inputs into one device) is as follows:

Code:

PROGMEM const char usbHidReportDescriptor[USB_CFG_HID_REPORT_DESCRIPTOR_LENGTH] =
{
    0x05, 0x01,               //   USAGE_PAGE (Generic Desktop)
    0x09, 0x05,               //   USAGE (Game Pad)
