Can AVR-USB register composite device. two HID, key/mouse?

Post by maxin » Sat Sep 22, 2007 5:22 am

I have a project where I need to send keyboard and mouse events. Can AVR-USB register itself with Windows XP as two HID devices (a mouse and a keyboard)? Thanks. I'm looking towards commercial usage and this is perfect provided it can do this trick. -max

Yes, that is possible with a composite HID descriptor. Getting the descriptor right is not always easy, especially with little experience in HID design.

I would recommend that you borrow a USB keyboard with integrated trackball and run a diagnostic tool on it which prints the HID descriptor. This would be a good starting point.
