Driver problem
« on: April 11, 2012, 09:34:39 am »
Hi,

I am using the provided winusbdemo.inf in the winusb_vb folder and configured my uController to match the PID and VID. The driver works fine and same to the VB program too.

Next, I modified the PID, VID and DeviceInterfaceGUIDs information in the winusbdemo.inf. I too configured my uController to match the PID and VID. Now, the driver works fine but the program failed. Anything that I missed out?

Listed below are the modifications to the .inf file. Other information remains untouched.
Original winusbdemo.inf
[MyDevice_WinUSB.NTx86]
%USB\MyDevice.DeviceDesc% =USB_Install, USB\VID_0925&PID_1456

[MyDevice_WinUSB.NTamd64]
%USB\MyDevice.DeviceDesc% =USB_Install, USB\VID_0925&PID_1456

[Dev_AddReg]
HKR,,DeviceInterfaceGUIDs,0x10000,"{42CA71EC-CE1C-44c2-82DE-87D8D8FF6C1E}"

Modified winusbdemo.inf
[MyDevice_WinUSB.NTx86]
%USB\MyDevice.DeviceDesc% =USB_Install, USB\VID_0957&PID_A118

[MyDevice_WinUSB.NTamd64]
%USB\MyDevice.DeviceDesc% =USB_Install, USB\VID_0957&PID_A118

[Dev_AddReg]
HKR,,DeviceInterfaceGUIDs,0x10000,"{400B501E-5A37-472D-B4A7-998BF4E9A7CD}"

Listed below is the modification to VB codes.
Original
Private Const WINUSB_DEMO_GUID_STRING As String = "{42CA71EC-CE1C-44c2-82DE-87D8D8FF6C1E}"

Modified
Private Const WINUSB_DEMO_GUID_STRING As String = "{400B501E-5A37-472D-B4A7-998BF4E9A7CD}"

What do you mean by "the program failed"? What line of code caused an error and what was the error message?

Found out that the problem was due to Windows registry where it has the PID and VID defined for HID operation before.
