USB HID WITH ANALOUE INPUTS AND DIGITL OUTPUTS

Using PIC18F2550 for connecting analogue and digital signals to USB port . Included Visual Basic 6 code, VS2005 C++ and C# codes are based on Microchip code, PIC ASM code, PIC C code and a circuit diagram. The PIC microcontroller has 10 bit analogue to digital converter. The circuit is powered by the USB. The interface to the PC is HID class.
The inputs and outputs are updated every 10ms.
HID class (human interface device) is a class of devices like the mouse and the keyboard, the data transfer rate is limited to 64KB/S. The PC already has a driver for HID USB.
VB6 code includes guidance to setting up the PC. The PC register the PID and VID (product ID) of the USB device when it's plugged, the VB code uses these ID's to communicate with the device. For commercial VID it is needed to buy it from USB-IF, but in your lab you can use any number.
The source code is derived from freeware from these sources: http://janaxelson.com/usb.htm , http://openprog.altervista.org/USB_firm_eng.html
You are free to use the circuit diagram and the VB software with no limitations.

ARDUINO INPUTS OUTPUTS FOR PC

Using PC to connect to Arduino Uno. Included Visual Basic 6 code and arduino code. The VB6 may need an ActiveX file downloaded from Microsoft.
The VB app connects to the Arduino via the COM PORT that the USB drive created and connects the Arduino IDE, when the VB app is running you cannot program the Arduino. You need to enter to the VB app the port number in the way it is done with the IDE.
The app displays 4 analogue inputs A0-A3, 6 digital inputs D2-D7 and 6 digital outputs D8-D13
You are free to use the Arduino code and the VB software with no limitations.

Arduino connected to Android USB via OTG cable, controls 4 inputs, 4 outputs, analogue inputs and temperature sensor DS21B20. Switch 4 Arduino outputs by the toggle switches and read 4 inputs by the 4 lights, read voltage of 2 analogue inputs. The Arduino update data every second.
The app is in free program Basic for Android (B4A) . Transfer APK file to your Android device and install the app by opening the file.
Android app (APK file) and B4A code can be downloaded from GitHub.
