Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides an expandable Plug and Play serial interface that ensures a standard, low-cost connection for peripheral devices. USB devices include keyboards, mice, joysticks, printers, scanners, storage devices, modems, video conferencing cameras, and more.

Windows operating systems include native support for USB host controllers, hubs, and devices and systems that comply with the official USB specification. Windows also provides programming interfaces that you can use to develop device drivers and applications that communicate with a USB device.

If you're developing an xHCI host controller that isn't compliant with the specification or developing a custom non-xHCI hardware (such as a virtual host controller), you can write a host controller driver that communicates with UCX. For example, consider a wireless dock that supports USB devices. The PC communicates with USB devices through the wireless dock by using USB over TCP as a transport.

You can develop a controller driver that handles all USB data transfers and commands sent by the host to the device. This driver communicates with the Microsoft-provided USB function controller extension (UFX).

Windows 10 introduces support for the new USB connector: USB Type-C. You can write a driver for the connector that communicates with the Microsoft-provided class extension module: UcmCx to handle scenarios related to Type-C connectors such as, which ports support Type-C, which ports support power delivery.

USB Dual Role controllers are now supported in Windows 10. Windows includes in-box client drivers for ChipIdea and Synopsis controllers. For other controllers, Microsoft provides a set of programming interfaces that allow the dual-role class extension (UrsCx) and its client driver to communicate with each other to handle the role-switching capability of a dual-role controller.

You can develop an emulated Universal Serial Bus (USB) host controller driver and a connected virtual USB device. Both components are combined into a single KMDF driver that communicates with the Microsoft-provided USB device emulation class extension (UdeCx).

Talk to USB devices, start to finish: Provides step-by-step instructions about implementing USB features in a UWP app. To write such an app for a USB device, you need Visual Studio and Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK).

Get information about the tools that you can use to test your USB hardware or software, capture traces of operations and other system events, and observe how the USB driver stack responds to a request sent by a client driver or an application.

Read an overview of tests in the Hardware Certification Kit that enable hardware vendors and device manufacturers to prepare their USB devices and host controllers for Windows Hardware Certification submission.

Microsoft Windows USB Core Team Blog: Check out posts written by the Microsoft USB Team. The blog focuses on the Windows USB driver stack that works with various USB Host controllers and USB hubs found in Windows PC. A useful resource for USB client driver developers and USB hardware designers to understand the driver stack implementation, resolve common issues, and explain how to use tools for gathering traces and log files.

MUTT devices: MUTT and SuperMUTT devices and the accompanying software package are integrated into the HCK suite of USB tests. They provide automated testing that can be used during the development cycle of USB controllers, devices and systems, especially stress testing.

OSR USB FX2 Learning Kit: If you're new to USB driver development. The kit is the most suitable to study USB samples included in this documentation set. You can get the learning kit from OSR Online Store.

USB host-side drivers in Windows: Provides an overview of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) driver stack architecture. Microsoft provides a core stack of drivers that interoperate with devices that are connected to EHCI and xHCI controllers.

USB-IF device class drivers: Lists the Microsoft-provided drivers for the supported USB device classes. Windows provides in-box device class drivers for many USB-IF approved device classes, audio, mass storage, and so on.

This smaller update is intended to combat the Control Center issue some users have. For some users it silently crashes when it tries to open the Main Window. Which after doing the driver package install is the default Window to be launched. Unfortunately, on all my machines and systems the Control Center is working as expected. Right now, I have only some little guessing, where the issue may come from, but do not have any clue about the why and how to fix it.

Recently some users were asking about compatibility and related issues. However it took some time until one was finally dropping a name and i figured all issue were about the same game. Just to make things quick in the future, if you have any game/tool/program that HID Wiimote does not work with, state its name along with the issue in detail. That way i can specifically look into it. If the particular piece of software is either still in active development or open source, there is a good chance i am able to fix it.

But that is changing now. I am going to release the multi driver mode feature in multiple steps as i progress development. The benefit is that new features are available earlier. On the downside development time may increase, as i need to reimplement and refactor the codebase. Furthermore settings are not guaranteed to be stable among releases. But slow progress is better than no progress at all.

The current release only includes the gamepad mode. The following updates are going to resolve around adding further driver modes. The goal is to finally have one driver supporting all kinds of different mode, i.e. IR mouse, DPad mouse, etc.

As said the current release only includes the gamepad mode. So no update for people that use the Wiimote as mouse. Also to simplify the development process a Control Center is only compatible with its accompanied device driver version.

Rather small technical changes for HID Wiimote. First one is primary a fix for Unity3D, when you want to use the Wiimote as gamepad. Unity3D uses RawInput instead if DirectInput, when reading from generic non XInput Gamepads. It seems RawInput has some issues with axes that have a negative value range, e.g. -127 to 127. So the change is to simply use a value range from 0 to 255.

Using the proper API Calls the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack is not needed anymore on Windows 8 and above. Both Wiimotes types (TR & non-TR) and the Wii U Pro are working fine. Here is the code repository of my test program.

As the MSDN Desgin Guide Sending HID Reports by Kernel-Mode Drivers (WriteFile will send out an IRP_MJ_WRITE request to the driver interface) suggests, the output report buffers shall have the size of the largest output report supported by the device. In case of the Wiimote this is 22 Byte.

This seems to be currently enforced by the Microsoft HID Class Driver on Windows 7 and the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, as they will fail WriteFile attempts with the error ERROR_INVALID_USER_BUFFER, when the buffer size is less.

On Windows 7 however more bytes than the acutal report are sent to the device, which produces an error on the Wiimote. It is unknown whether this is a bug or intented behaviour. The Toshiba Bluetooth Stack in contrast only sends the appropiate amount of bytes according to the used report to the device.

Rather small update with just one and a half fix. Regarding the connectivity issue on Windows 10 Version 1511, i had no issues while testing. Therefore i assume either the updated WDK or another Windows update fixed it. If the problem persists, please report back, so i can take another look at it.

This build has nothing new except that is has been rebuild with the newest Visual Studio 2015 and Windows Driver Kit 10. So for non Windows 10 users there is no urgent need to download/update it. But you can if you like to, just make sure to uninstall the previous/old driver.

So this is a multi-system Desktop build and not an Universal Driver. I am going to provide an Universal Driver as well soon, but there is some work to be done. The driver compiles fine and without any error. The only issue is that i have to make an universal .inf file, which simply requires me to read through the MSDN documentation. However, i am currently not able to test the Universal Driver on a Windows Phone nor on an IoT-System, so the build is going to be purely experimental and for people that just want to give it a try.

I am also not quite certain about the driver signing regarding the Universal Driver. I have no clue whether it is possible to deactivate the driver verification on Mobile and IoT-Systems and get an unsigned driver loaded. I would assume there is some way, because devs need the ability to test drivers on the device, but that might require additional test modes, which in turn may have side effects.

Back at my home university in Berlin, as well as here in Oslo and i assume also at other universities, students learn mainly Java. They may have a single C course about the language, but that is all. Not a big problem, because all other courses are featuring Java as language as well. Until at the end of their studies, sometimes in the master degree studies, they encounter a course that is focused on high performance highly optimized C code, with a lecturer that expects everyone to be well familiar with C.

So i am providing some tips for coding in C. They are not directly targeted for beginners, more for people coming from a higher language, that have to deal with C all of a sudden. But they may be still helpful for programming beginners.

You can still reassemble something like objects in C. Simply have a header and C file for your object type. In the header define a struct for the object type, that will hold the data of the object. All object methods are defined in its C file and must have a pointer of the object type as parameter. Thereby you can access the data of the object instance. Only methods declared in the header file will be visible to other files that include the header file, so you even have private and public methods. However the object data is all public (although there are also ways to make some variables private but that requires a little bit more afford).
