RawHID API

Working examples can be found in the example folder. Feature and out reports are both supported.

A patched version of the program linked above can be found inside the extras folder. The example is far away from being perfect. I recommend you to use the hidapi instead. Needs further testing. Should work under windows as well, but not tested.

2.4.2 fixes the 64+ byte RawHID issue. IDE 1.6.8 is required for this patch.

As stated in the links above you need to add a udev rule or need root access (sudo) to open the hid device. A full, more detailed udev.rules file can be found inside the /extras folder of the library. For a quick version use this command:

echo 'SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2341", MODE:="0666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/ArduinoRawHID.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

Usage pages (seems to be useless for programs):

  RAWHID_USAGE_PAGE 0xFFC0 // recommended: 0xFF00 to 0xFFFF
  RAWHID_USAGE    0x0C00 // recommended: 0x0100 to 0xFFFF
