Generic HID Node(s)

Enable the users to connect HID-spec-compliant devices to their machines and use them instantly in vvvv without the necessity to install drivers.
This HID are for example:

already tested:

• joypads like microsofts sidewinder
• remotecontrols connected via IR and USB like shuttles XPC Free PN31
• so called multimediakeyboards with "specialbuttons" (start email, browser)
• mice with more than two buttons
• PS2 Mice and Keyboards connected via an PS2 to USB adapter

to be tested:

• devices connected via bluetooth (Keyboards, Remotecontrols etc)

• general node-properties:

• inputs:
• enum containing a list of connected devices
• string to save and change the outputpin configuration (similar to Automata-Node). this string is automatically generated based on the characteristics of the chosen HID
• a input pin like the transformation pin, to make cascades of hid devices? for easy grouping of devices?! Oz

• outputs:
• dynamic outputs, automatically generated on basis of the chosen devices buttons, mousewheels, tiltsensors etc.
• maybe better: slices of output, like if there are eight buttons, the output-pin "button" would have eight slices? Oz

• how to assign hid-devices to renderer? could do that with the handle pin, is there a better way? Oz

• add the capability of renaming hid-devices, so you don't need to operate with the product-id. Oz

Devices are saved via the input string pin to prevent errors if a patch is opened and a device that was formerly connected isn´t present.

• Device-Class dependent / additional properties

for example:

• X/Y coordinates of mousecursor
• pressed keyboard-keys
• block specialbutton functions, e.g. shutdown. instead put out a descriptive string ("shutdown")

TODOs:

• research concerning HID programming
• implementation of dedicated Nodes for different HID-Classes (mice, keyboards, joysticks/Joypads)
• testing of the nodes under a variety of conditions (different machines, connected devices etc.)

maybes:

• integrate the IO Warrior Node into the generic HID-Node or reprogram it (using the dedicated SDK) to have access to all of its functions
• assignment of devices to certain renderer windows

• component suite, which gives complete access to HID devices
• MSDN Interactive Input Device Architecture
• Windows Hardware Developer Central - Input / HID - Architecture and Driver Support
