STM32 and USB HID in C#

[PSEBA.1]

Hello,

Wich STM32 can i use for a USB HID connection with C# sotware ?

Best regards.

You can consider STM32F103. It is basic HID supported via ST USB FS device library or libopencm3.

The whole point if standards like USB is that they are independent of the particular hardware implementation.

So an USB HID is a USB HID - irrespective of what microcontroller is used in it.

So real the question is simply, "Can I use a USB HID connection with C# software?"

And that is a question for your C# documentation and/or a C# forum - nothing to do with ST or STM32

eg, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/microsoft/windows-universal-samples/customhiddeviceaccess/

via: https://www.google.com/search?q=C%23+HID

And, as the above shows, on high-level platforms this is all abstracted by the OS - so even the choice of language is (largely) irrelevant.

PS:

So, conversely, the language you use on your host is entirely irrelevant to which STM32 you choose.

You just need to use any STM32 which supports USB HID:

C# is not a standard language on microcontrollers. This will be an uphill battle.

Indeed.

@PSEBA.1 did you mean that you actually want to use C# on the microcontroller itself?

For that, you'd have to look into the .NET micro (or is it nano ?) framework; eg,
