Tinkering TI MSP430F5529

USB HID

Most of the common devices like keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, barcode readers, gamepads, etc that we use with our PCs and laptops in regular life are USB HID devices. We can use our MSP430F5529 microcontroller to make USB HID devices and in this example, we will use our MSP430 microcontroller to make a rudimentary mouse. Unlike conventional mice, our mouse will be using a keypad joystick instead of optoelectronics or mechanical trackball.

Explanation

Just like the past example, again we are interested in the main loop as everything is done here. On each press of joystick buttons x and y coordinates are changed by 1 unit. We are not using mouse coordinate acceleration as with any regular mouse and that is why the change amount is 1 unit only. On PC screen, the mouse cursor will appear to move slowly as if the PC is busy doing some other works. We are also assuming that the x and y coordinate boundaries range from -127 to +127 units. In the code, we have to take care that these extremes are not exceeded. We are not using typical mouse click buttons although I coded the joystick middle button for clicking. This is not very important here as mouse cursor movement is all that is needed for USB HID demo. In the ST_ENUM_ACTIVE case, the location of cursor and button state are reported to host PC. The PC then uses these to change the position of the mouse cursor.

while (1)
{
    if(GPIO_getInputPinValue(MOUSE_PORT, MOUSE_UP_PIN) == false)
    {
        mouseReport.dY += change_amount;
    }

    if(GPIO_getInputPinValue(MOUSE_PORT, MOUSE_DOWN_PIN) == false)
    {
        mouseReport.dY -= change_amount;
    }
   
    if(mouseReport.dY > 127)
    {
        mouseReport.dY = 127;
    }

    if(mouseReport.dY  127)
    {
        mouseReport.dX = 127;
    }

    if(mouseReport.dX  40)
     {
         t = 0;
         mouseReport.dX = 0;
         mouseReport.dY = 0;
         mouseReport.buttons = 0;
      }
}

For 40 times, the mouse’s coordinate changes and button states are not reset automatically and this is so because we don’t want to keep holding the joystick buttons for movement once our desired speed is achieved. Remember no acceleration is used.
