How to build GenericHID

Dependencies

On Ubuntu, this command will installed the required build packages. There is a total of about 200MB on a fresh system.

sudo apt-get install build-essential qt4-qmake libqt4-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev gcc-avr binutils-avr gdb-avr avr-libc avrdude

Building

linux

Note - GenericHID still uses qt4. If you have qt5 installed on your machine run qmake-qt4 instead of qmake below. If you have already run qmake for qt5, it is easiest to retreive a new clone of the repository and start again.

 > qmake
 > make
 > sudo make install

Win32

A windows build is currently not supported until I decide what to do with libusb. libusb-0.1-win32 does not support Win7+. libusb-1.0-win32 has some significant differences to the linux version to make it work. It also doesn't support running as a general usb access library anymore either.

GenericHID firmware

The firmware is now part of the build. 3 versions are built and put in the bin directory: usbkey.hex (at90usb1287@8MHz), generic16.hex (at90usb1287@16MHz) and teensypp2 (at90usb1286@16Mhz using the half-kay bootloader).

mouse x axis emulation with an encoder

Hi, thanks a lot for the software, is very powerfull and simply to use, i have mounted a teensey2 in an arcade cabinet with 1ms scan and 1ms debounce, work very well, but i have necessity to emulate a mouse y axis on the interface with an optical encoder, is possible to combinate this with the keyboard buttons? Sorry but i don´t have the necessary know how to understand the hid usage pages for mouse preripherals. Thanks again.

help and resources have wrong permissions in /usr/share/generichid

The permissions for help and resources directories in /usr/share/generichid are 700, they need to be 755 in order for the images to display in the gui. Man directory is already 755.

This is on Linux Mint 17.x. Tool works great, thank you.
