Helm PCB USB HID Template for Visual Basic 2. Published on 2. 9 November, 2. Introduction. With the decline of serial and parallel ports from modern computers, electronics hobbyists are turning more to utilizing USB or stick with old computers for their legacy ports. Unfortunately, unlike serial and parallel ports, USB is far from simple and so it can be daunting to try to develop hardware and software for it. However, there are many hardware and software solutions that make developing USB device much simpler. Some PIC microcontrollers now come with a USB Serial Interface Engine SIE that handles the very low level parts of the interface. However, writing firmware to work with the SIE can still be a difficult task. Luckily, many PIC compilers come with USB libraries that work out of the box and are dead easy to use. The code generated by these compilers tends to produce a USB Human Interface Device HID as these devices do not require custom drivers to be written because Windows has them preinstalled. However, you still need to write your own PC software to read and write data from your USB device. This article shows you how to do this. Visual Basic Template. The Visual Basic template, which you can download at the bottom of the page, generates the basic code framework that is needed to interface with your USB device. All you need to do is set the VID, PID and buffer sizes going into and out from the PC. After that youre ready to read and write data.
