USB and PIC16F1459

[wavelength]

All,
Hey I do USB a lot with PIC32MX/MZ processors and have my own VID.

I built a new board using the PIC16F1459 to do some basic stuff like setup and options for that board. I don't think I will need a bootloader for this as it's really basic.

Anyway I am looking at the HID examples and it seems pretty hard coded to the CCS example board which I have.

So are the basic steps to making an acceptable application like this:
1) rename ex_usb_hid into my own file in my working folder.
2) grab all the include files, rename them into that folder.
3) modify the VID, PID, Strings and so forth.
4) modify the new ex_usb_hid and work out the details for my hardware.

Missing anything?

Thanks,
Gordon

I wouldn't rename things. Just copy them into the local directory. If you
are using the IDE, and make an editing change to any of these files, and
then save this, the IDE will offer to save this locally to the project. Let it
do this, or do the same manually.
Then just make sure where your #include the files in your project, use
"usb_desc_hid.h"
rather than
<usb_desc_hid.h>

The former prioritises searching in the local directory first.

On ex_usb_hid.c, just take the core parts of this, put this into your new
file for your project. Add one thing. At the top of this new file, before
loading ex_usb_common.h, add:

#define USB_HW_CCS_16F1459

Now the other things is working out how you are going to generate the clock?. The above define assumes you are using the 8MHz internal
oscillator, with the active clock tuning to generate the USB clock.
If instead you have a crystal, then you need to modify the clock setup
in ex_usb_common.h
