Android Question Communication with Michroship PIC 16F1459

What is the output of this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/usb-host-library.11290/#post-63127 ?

Hello Erel,

the output of usbdetails1 is:

I don't think that this chip is supported.

The compatible chips list: https://github.com/mik3y/usb-serial-for-android/wiki/Compatible-Serial-Devices
And the ones listed here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/usbserial-library-2-0-supports-more-devices.28176/#content

Hello Alain, first of all it is Microchip not Microship (like in the title). If your device is enumerated as a HID device it will probably not be possible. But if your device is enumerated as a CDC device (Virtual COM Port) then you will be able to communicate with it using the USB Serial library.

You will have to add the VID/PID to the device_filter.xml file and detect your device as a Custom Device. If I remember well Silicon Labs CP2102 is a good driver for this kind of IC.

I already made this kind of communication with is little brother the 14 pins PIC16F1454. If you need more help then feel free to ask. And if you speak french I also do.

Merci beaucoup Toley
j'essaye tout ça et je vous tient au courant.

Hello,

Apres quelques test il semblerais sue je sois en HID (InterfaceClass : USB_CLASS_COMM (human interface).
Est t-il possible malgré ça de développer une application androïd ?

Merci toute sugestion est la bienvenue.

Alain

Malheureusement, il n'y a pas de librairies qui le permettent actuellement sous B4A.

Hi Alain,
If beside the USB port, your mController also has RS485/RS232 port, then you can connect it to HC-6 Bluetooth module and use the serial library in your App in the Android device.
If you only have USB port, then still you can use USB <> serial converter, and connect the Bluetooth module to the serial side of the
converter.. (normally it has the USB on one side and 4-pins on the other side for Vcc, Gnd, Rx and Tx, that you can directly connect to the 4-pin port of the Bluetooth module. (you will cross the Rx and Tx of both devices)

Thanks Beja, Toley

and whith other development tools for android is it possible ?

I don't know, this forum is dedicated to basic4 android and this is the only tool I use for android. Maybe if you seach the Market you can find an app than can communicate with this kind of device.

I don't think you can find a better platform then B4A..
B4A gives you the power of .net and Java combined.. you can embed Java (as is) in your code, beside the powerful string manipulation.
