USB Descriptors |

Apologies if this has been answered before, I had a quick scour and couldn't find what I wanted.
I am after changing the HID and PID so it shows something meaningful rather than "USB Input Device" in Device Manager, but I am unsure f where to change this, my code has these included but I didn't want to touch them without checking first:
Code: |
#include <pic18_usb.h>
#include <usb_desc_hid.h>
#include <usb.c> |
TIA |

The descriptors are in use_desc_hid.h
However understand that generally descriptors are _registered_. You
cannot just arbitrarily create one. HID does allow some flexibility.
Look at the tools here:

Yeah, I was more after changing the description, I changed that file, but Window 11 just shows it as a "USB Input device", it doesn't even say "CCS Demo", does Windows 11 not show or am I missing something? |

The whole point of HID is it allows generic devices like this without having
to have a specific driver. The device will be identified if you go to the 'details'
tab, and look for the field 'Bus reported device description'. |

I tried the CCS example and that tab shows nothing, it's blank.

That means the default windows driver is not loading it in for you.
Historically I've always got it by opening the device, and used a call to
LibUsb.getStringDescriptor(deviceDescriptor)
This merrily returns the string descriptor from the CCS driver. Have
used this several times in code to offer users access 'only' to the devices
I want. Using this sequentially to fill a list of the devices the code can
connect to.
Must say on my system the Bus reported device descriptor is filled in,
once a device is connected. |

Odd, it works, just the descriptor missing, is it a Windows 11 thing? |

So, I installed LibUSBDotNet and compiled the Show.Info example and the product field says CCS HID Demo, so I don't know why Windows is blank?? |
