Complex Bluetooth HID Input with iWRAP and the Bluegiga WT12

Thanks to Bluegiga’s workhorse of a class 2 Bluetooth module and the latest iWRAP5 firmware with custom HID descriptor support, I have now been able to achieve the wireless capabilities I always hoped the Keyglove would have. Keyboard, mouse with scrolling support, consumer page reports, and raw HID packets for arbitrary data transmission. It isn’t fully integrated into the Keyglove code yet, and I’ve only tested it with manual control so far, but the firmware setup is solid. It’s now just a matter of translating the manual control I’ve already done into my codebase.

Keyglove #09 – Wireless Mouse Movement Demo from Jeff Rowberg on Vimeo.

Finally! I have managed to incorporate the Bluegiga WT12 sufficiently into the current prototype hardware, along with the still-in-progress iWRAP code library to control it easily and transparently. This video demonstrates the first true combination of Bluetooth wireless functionality and the actual Keyglove code, rather than just a proof-of-concept Arduino sketch. This is a major milestone; wrapping up the remaining core Bluetooth functionality should be pretty straightforward now.

Controller Code Updates

On September 10, 2011   /   Development, Software, Uncategorized   /   1 Comment

I’ve spent a good deal of time lately completely rearranging the Keyglove controller code into a whole bunch of logically separated modular units to make everything more manageable. I know there is still plenty more code to write before all of the desired features are working, but even without that code it was becoming difficult to navigate and edit efficiently. When I brought the LUFA library into things and wrapped it around the existing Arduino sketch, I knew I had to do something drastic. So, here’s an overview of the changes.
