I've seen a couple of videos related to HID keyboards on TH-cam. Some people are using much "bigger" micros, esp32, blue pill, even rasp pi. This is by far the most cost effective and easiest to implement solution. Great video, as always
I made a TTL device by accident on the Cardputer as I coded "a reader" for a GPS module and wrote to serial / USB as well. With a switch or sending "$keyboard,5" I could give it 5 minutes in HID mode, maybe, in the future. Not sure where to start, but I'm "through" the USB cable in that situation.
This is really awesome work, I'm working on a project like this and I was wondering if you could help me understand the firmware of for this project. I noticed that you are using the IO pins of the MCU for USB communication. Is there a specific way you're sending those commands or is there anything else?
I have a question, can i use it and modify it to be with a switch instead of a button because i want to make a DIY flight controls for xbox, could this work?
@@iceinmylean3947 the fw is heavily based on a piece of code I wrote for a company. I also have an nda signed with them so I can't make the source public. I can however recompile a custom fw. I did that a couple of times for other projects
Author stuck in 90х. I was already programming at90s avr at that time. In 2010x there were already stm8 in the same 8bit category, head above avr. At that time I forgot about avr, like a bad dream. stm8 already had 1-wire programming, on-the-fly settings, with better peripherals and an on-board debugger full-fledged uc at the price like an attiny stump. Now you can buy stm32 like ch32v203 with phy usb with no external components for 0.5$ for chip. You can buy esp32-c3 module pcb with bluetooth and wifi for 1.8$. And so on. You should take uc for the task, and not to try use one for all. When I did a full size usb/bluetooth keyboart I took 1.3$ ch582m chip with usb/bluetooth onboard and with many pins. If there were any other conditions, I would choose from them. And 8bit uc has already died out as a class. Now 32bit uc can be bought even for 18 cents in retail by piece. "code I wrote for a company" with avr in 2024?, ahahaha.
Can I purchase one of these devices ready to go? I want to use a contact closure from the output of an Allen-Bradley Micro820 PLC to trigger an "ENTER" HID keypress input to a PC.
@@coreWeaver need a modified version of this, with 4 keys and two analog inputs. The inputs will be a temp sensor and a water level sensor. Can you modify the design to do this ? I sent you an email with the specifications. Thanks in advance
Yes, I get that the name of the channel is Designing HARDWARE, but it looks like a number of us are interested in your software development process as well. Do tell!

thank you so much ! Keep your thumbs up and stay tuned for more

Amazing soldering skills. Thanks for the video
thank you for watching
Impressive write-up and explanation. Your content is well made.
Nice work! Are you going to make some instruction or tutorial of how you write the firmware and program it?
cool project . would love a tutorial on the firmware and program

Cool stuff. How did you implement the whole USB communication on this device? Did you use something like V-USB?
no, I wrote my own stack
@@coreWeaver that's pretty sick. I assume it's very minimal given the footprint of the device? Will you be sharing this by any chance?

Hey, nice work 👍 I wonder which key you used for media volume increase and decrease. I was able to manage other keys, but not the multimedia keys.

sure. send me an email: core.weaver@gmail.com

@@jane.q6280 sure. I'll get back to you
Hey man I;m doing a similar project, would you mind sharing your firmware ? So that I can figure out what I'm doing wrong, thanks
Is there any way to contact you ? :)
core.weaver@gmail.com
Any AVR with 20 Mhz can do that ?
basically, yes. the fw is compiled for the avr I had on my table at that moment.
