Trying to do something very simple - HID
« on: April 22, 2019, 08:28:44 pm »
I am new to all of this.  Trying to teach myself. I will try to show only the most relevant code.

I know I have everything up to here working right:

hReadFile = CreateFile(FILE_NAME_ASCIIZ, %GENERIC_READ OR %GENERIC_WRITE, %FILE_SHARE_READ OR %FILE_SHARE_WRITE, BYVAL %NULL, %OPEN_EXISTING, %FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED, %NULL)

Because this works:
MY_OVERLAPPED.Offset     = 0
MY_OVERLAPPED.OffsetHigh = 0
MY_OVERLAPPED.hEvent = GLOBAL_EVENT_WAIT_FOR_OVERLAPPED_READ
RESULT = WaitForSingleObject(MY_OVERLAPPED.hEvent, 3000)     
RESULT = ReadFile(BYVL hReadFile ,  READ_BUFFER, MY_InputReportByteLength, BYTES_READ, MY_OVERLAPPED)

HOWEVER...
This does not work:
WRITE_BUFFER = "TEST"
MY_OVERLAPPED.Offset     = 0
MY_OVERLAPPED.OffsetHigh = 0
RESULT = WriteFile(GLOBAL_FILE_HANDLE, WRITE_BUFFER, MY_OutputReportByteLength, BYTES_WRITTEN, MY_OVERLAPPED)   

I keep getting error 87 - ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
If I have the WRITE_BUFFER mal-formed will WriteFile refuse to do the function?  I am watching the data on wireshark and cant get any data to from the host to the device.

I have lots of other stuff working - I can get all the info about the device etc...  Just can't write to it.

The first byte in the write buffer should be the report ID.

The buffer should be large enough to hold the report + 1 byte.
