I had idea of project using mouse/keyboard and sending data from PC to Spark Spark can handle only mouse or keyboard by default Also usb-hid-suport branch is broken and needs reverting few last commits to actually work So I digged in and finally made it work. Now sharing project code: Hilights: …

@ryotsuke , that’s cool :+1: I’ll go and try this out soon. I’ve recently extended my IoT-Mouse project that allows to control a Core-USB-HID-Mouse via the Spark cloud to also read PS/2 hardware (mouse/keyboard) to allow to build the Core into a mouse or keyboard, which still would work as expected…

@satishgn would know more about this feature definitely — we stalled on it last year waiting for OpenMoko to give us another USB product ID. They never responded after many follow-ups. We now have our own USB vendor ID, so this can move forward again. It might already be incorporated into our firmw…

@ryotsuke @zachary , there is no HID support built into photon currently as the USB peripheral on photon is different and so require some amount of porting work to get the Keyboard/Mouse HID working on the newer photon. Now since we have our own USB vendor ID, we can assign a new product ID for HID …

I’d also repeat my proposal (from older threads) to go for a three(+)fold composit USB HID (CDC Serial, Keyboard, Mouse, …). Not having to sacrifice the Serial object when using any USB HID would not only be nice, but would also help debugging during HID library/application development :wink:

I was facing some performance issues so I’ve tried experimenting with timing Setting this 0x04, /*bInterval: Polling Interval (4 ms) line 208, usb_desc.cpp */ Allows to use 4ms delay for mouse events and 8ms for keyboard instead of 32 for both. (lower values result in skipping events) This in…

@zachary and @satishgn , guys is there an update on HID support for the Photon? This is important for a project I’m working on but there don’t seem to be any updates since early March. Any progress would be hugely appreciated!

I just checked with some of the team, and it sounds like HID support isn’t ready yet. Thanks for the ping @sscirrus ; I’ll keep my eye on HID support in the priority list and get it out soon. It’s already on our internal backlog; I just added a link to this thread there along with a note that you spe…
