USB Host - Sending data to device

NETMF & Gadgeteer
1

Hello,

I’m trying to send data to a device but I get a System.Exception from GHIElectronics.NETMF.USBHost.dll :frowning:

The data to be sent is this one :

SetupPacket:
0000: 22 09 00 02 00 00 00 00 
bmRequestType: 22
  DIR: Host-To-Device
  TYPE: Class
  RECIPIENT: Endpoint
bRequest: 09  


TransferBuffer: 0x00000004 (4) length
0000: 80 00 00 01

My code is this one :

OutputData[0] = 0x80;
            OutputData[1] = 0x00;
            OutputData[2] = 0x00;
            OutputData[3] = 0x01;
            _IF1018.SendSetupTransfer(0x22, 0x09, 0x0002, 0x0000, OutputData, 0, 4); 
            //_IF1018.SendSetupTransfer(0x22, 0x09, 0x00, 0x02, OutputData, 0, 4);

None of this works…

What am I doing wrong ?

Any help would be welcome here.

Best regards,

Christophe

This is little endian, you need to switch the bytes order:
_IF1018.SendSetupTransfer(0x22, 0x09, 0x0200, 0x0000, OutputData, 0, 4);

Doesn’t work either :frowning:

If it can help, here’s the report from USBView :

There’s nothing weird in this report, to me. Only one endpoint, only one pipe.

The USB Frame shown in my first post was captured by a sniffer. I know that this frame was the one I wanted to send because it is the only one that contains the value(s) that I know are being modified.
Here, the 0x80 in the transfer buffer represents a binary 10000000, which means that the Digital Output #7 is “on”, while the others are “off”.

I’ve just figured it out :slight_smile:

bmRequestType should be 0x21, not 0x22…

_IF1018.SendSetupTransfer(0x21, 0x09, 0x02, 0x00, OutputData, 0, 4);

Now it’s working almost like a charm :slight_smile:

Here’s a video showing the use of the digital outputs on the Phidgets 1018 board :

http://www.lsp-fr.com/FEZ/DSCN0671.avi (20 MB)

Setup :

  • the push button is on a digital input of the 1018
  • this button turns on a led on the 1018 and the one on the FEZ Domino
  • the LDR button on the FEZ Domino turns off both leds

With this driver, I can now easily add 8 digital IO and 8 analog inputs to the FEZ Domino :slight_smile:

Usage is very simple, as usual.
For example, this code snippet shows how to turn on Phidgets 1018 Digital Output 7 (and onboard led) when Digital Input 6 state changes (button pressed). The code is placed in the user supplied event handler.


static void Phidget1018_InputChange(object sender, Phidget1018InputChangeEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Index == 6) { IF1018.Output(7, true); Led.Write(true); }
        }

Thanks for all the efforts, looks great.

By the way, uploading the video to youtube makes it easier to users to watch instead of downloading 20MB :slight_smile: I may take your video and upload it, if that is okay with you.
