Why is in the HID mouse example program, the main function doesn't take in any button inputs? How to include mouse button inputs along with the rest of the data packets?

Has the Nordic Smart Remote 3 example program got anything to do with my requirement?

again, in

the buffer [0-2] is made to store the movement values. But i thought HID mouse report format is like [Buttons, X-translation, Y-translation.

Am sure that I screwed up somewhere but still not sure how find it.

Hi Martin,

In the HID mouse example, the program makes use of a function

"mouse_movement_sent()"

This function takes in two arguments(horizontal and vertical movement). I was trying to include the mouse button press into this, but doesn't seem to work.

Hi Hari,

You would need to add a descriptor in the code.

I would suggest that you begin with the mouse example as reference.

To answer your past question, you would need to make one for keyboard as well.

ble_hids_init_t           hids_init_obj_keyboard;

ble_hids_init_t           hids_init_obj_mouse;

(You could also check out this tutorial, just to give you an idea how to make a custom service)

Hi,

I still haven't tackled the issue. Need help...😞

In the HID mouse example, parsing into function hids_init(), I can see lots of mouse dependent configurations like,

hid_init_obj.is_mouse,

hid_init_obj.inp_rep_count,

hid_init_obj.p_inp_rep_array, so and so

Now am like confused with all these settings. How to deal with these if we are planning to use both?

Hi Hari,

Yes that is possible. (ex. it is done in the nRFready Smart Remote reference design )

You can use the HID Keyboard and HID Mouse applications as reference, and combine those two.

(for nRF52840, we also have a USB HID Composite Example that shows how to use two HID classes as one composite device)
