dartusbhid

A dart wrapper for libusbhid, to interface with human input devices. It runs in its own isolate. Supports

• Enumerating USB HID devices
  • Supports vendorId, productId, serialNumber, releaseNumber, manufacturerString, productString, usagePage, usage, interfaceNumber
• Reading and writing device reports with or without report ID

Planned:

• Read and write feature reports

Installation

flutter pub add dartusbhid

Usage

import 'package:dartusbhid/enumerate.dart';

void printDeviceList() async {
  // Enumerate all devices
  // Passing 0 for vendor and product Id will enumerate all devices.
  final devices = await enumerateDevices(0, 0);
  print(devices.length);
  for (final device in devices) {
    // Print device information like product name, vendor, etc.
    print(device);
  }

  // Open the first device
  final openDevice = await devices[0].open();

  // Read data without timeout (timeout: null)
  print("Waiting for first hid report");
  final receivedData = await openDevice.readReport(null);
  print("Report ID is: ${receivedData[0]}");
  print(receivedData);

  // Send 64 bytes of data to the device
  var uint8list = Uint8List.fromList(List.generate(64, (index) => 0));
  uint8list[0] = 2; // Set the Report ID
  await openDevice.writeReport(uint8list);

  // Close the device
  await openDevice.close();
}

printDeviceList();
