Ultimarc U-HID with USB Cable

The U-HID is Ultimarc's most capable input/output HID (Human Interface Device) with 50 connections and the widest variety of inputs: pushbuttons, momentary switches, toggle switches, joysticks, rotary encoders (spinners), 12-way or N-way rotary switches, trackballs, optical devices, pots, analog voltage sources, and more! As well as the widest range of assignments: keystroke, gamepad button, gamepad analog axis, mouse axis or buttons, 5V output, quadrature mouse pair, LED controls, and more!

Connections can be assigned as:

• Keyboard key
• Gamepad Button
• Gamepad analog axis with or without auto-calibration and center dead-zone.
• Mouse button (including double-click)
• Quadrature Mouse Pair. X or Y axis. Normal or reverse direction.
• Quadrature left/right button presses.
• PC-controlled LED output using special software
• PC Num/Scroll/Caps lock LEDs
• U-HID locally-controlled LED output based on the state of any switch.
• 5 Volt output (30ma max)
• Ground

Features:

• No special drivers or application changes needed except for PC-controlled LEDs which has an API with code examples.
• Simple open pin-header connectors allow use of separate or composite modular wiring harnesses.
• U-Config configuration utility allows the connections to be configured for each device type, and keycodes and other attributes set.
• Switches handled by super-fast logic using an individual de-bounce state counter for each input giving ultimate performance for gaming applications.
• No key ghosting or blocking ever.
• Advanced keycode/button programming with in-built shift feature. Includes macro capability
• 12-bit analog axis support
• Configuration utiity interacts real-time with the board and all settings stored instantly in Flash ROM on the board.
• Single Mini-USB connector for PC (or MAC) connection. No separate power needed
• 50 Truly independent inputs allow all switches to be commoned to ground. No matrix or diodes
• Modular 8-way + ground harnesses available.
• Extended switch harnesses available.
• ESD protected inputs. Vital for high-footfall public applications.
• All settings stored in Flash ROM and retained after power-off.
• Configuration can be changed on-the-fly using a command-line. The board can assume a completely different layout instantly.
• Simple-to-use PC Configuration application.
• Up to 8 boards can be connected. All are configured using the same U-Config utility.

Advanced Features:

• Key and Button functions can have one primary and one secondary code assignment.
• Secondary assignments are invoked by first activating a “U-HID Shift” connection.
• Any connection can be assigned as a shift.
• Unique separately-programmable “button down” and “button up” events allow use of all types of normally-closed, normally-open, or active high/low controls.
• “Button down” and “button up” can be separately assigned as primary or secondary codes.
• Controls can be assigned as “normal” or “pulse”.
• Toggle (push on-push off) and flip-flop modes available.
• Programmable analog offset and scale factor for all analog axes.
• X and Y axes can be configured with adjustable center dead-zone and auto-calibration.
• Extended macro capability.
• User-upgradeable firmware for future enhancements and customizations.

Input Limits:

• Max 8 analog axes on 50 possible pins (Windows limitation)
• Max 32 Gamepad buttons on 50 possible pins (Windows limitation)
• Max 8 Quadrature mouse devices on 16 possible pins out of the 50.
• Max 3 Quadrature mouse axes (X, Y and Z, Windows limitation)
• Max 50 keyboard keys on 50 possible pins.
• Max 16 LEDs in any combination of PC or U-HID controlled. (USB 500 mA current limitation).
• Max 50 low-current output drivers.
