Currently, several example dependencies rely on the fact that all registered components are added to the build, along with components specified in common requirements. This results in longer build times because even unused components must be built. Switch all examples to use idf_minimal_build to compile only the components actually required by the example.

USB HID Class example
This example implements a basic USB Host HID Class Driver, and demonstrates how to use the driver to communicate with USB HID devices (such as Keyboard and Mouse or both) on the ESP32-S2/S3. Currently, the example only supports the HID boot protocol which should be present on most USB Mouse and Keyboards. The example will continuously scan for the connection of any HID Mouse or Keyboard, and attempt to fetch HID reports from those devices once connected. To quit the example (and shut down the HID driver), users can GPIO0 to low (i.e., pressing the "Boot" button on most ESP dev kits).
Hardware Required
- Development board with USB-OTG support
- A USB cable for Power supply and programming
- USB OTG Cable
Common Pin Assignments
Follow instructions in examples/usb/README.md for specific hardware setup.
Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
The example serial output will be the following:
I (198) example: HID HOST example
I (598) example: Interface number 0, protocol Mouse
I (598) example: Interface number 1, protocol Keyboard
Mouse
X: 000883 Y: 000058 |o| |
Keyboard
qwertyuiop[]\asdfghjkl;'zxcvbnm,./
Mouse
X: 000883 Y: 000058 | |o|
Where every keyboard key printed as char symbol if it is possible and a Hex value for any other key.
Keyboard input data
Keyboard input data starts with the word "Keyboard" and every pressed key is printed to the serial debug. Left or right Shift modifier is also supported.
Keyboard
Hello, ESP32 USB HID Keyboard is here!
Mouse input data
Mouse input data starts with the word "Mouse" and has the following structure.
Mouse
X: -00343 Y: 000183 | |o|
| | | |
| | | +- Right mouse button pressed status ("o" - pressed, " " - not pressed)
| | +--- Left mouse button pressed status ("o" - pressed, " " - not pressed)
| +---------- Y relative coordinate of the cursor
+----------------------- X relative coordinate of the cursor
