I know a bit of C\C++ programming and windows Api. My education level is an associates degree in electronics I got 10years ago and never used and forgotten nearly all of it as I have been in IT active directory systems admin role ever since, but my love for programming has never left me. This said I'm definitely a novice who loves learning everything. That said if you are very inexperinced in programming and robotics... your in my boat. It is obvious to interact with remote electronics and bluetooth devices or two computers talking to each other via bluetooth.. it's going to take understanding HID. Like learning C++ for the first time. I'm going to just "DO IT" and let the learning come to me as I poke around understanding HID. Don't give up!

HID -> This website from all I've found online explains HID a little better than most.

This post is to anyone advanced and novice who can help me, and others with understanding HID interfacing topics.
It is day 3 of my 7 day Trial period. I'm heavily side-tracked studying HID programming and Usage Pages to wrap my mind around HID. My self task. To interface my Playstation 4 controller with windows 10 and map out the buttons to be like an Xbox 360 controller. I'll have to string out hex codes for each button and signal from the PS4 BT device.
I have zero clue how I'm going to do this, how it's done by an advanced programmer or flow-stone developer, but I'm going to just "do it" and learn. LOL !

Starting day 4 (tomorrow) - I'll stop with HID self education , and begin my Parabolic Audio electronics project ..and will dedicate the remaining time to that; as I feel I can accomplish that and it will mean two of my self goals will be completed, being entirely novice with flow-stone\new to it. I can tell you this though. If you are an advanced programmer or electronics engineering graduate with some software programming knowledge. Flow-Stone will be a product making beauty in your life. I am trying to get another college loan to go back to school for software engineering. I've got one month in on a bachelors degree I had to drop out of. Flow-Stone's driving me nuts as I want to know SO MUCH MORE AND MAKE SO MANY THINGS :) stay tuned , and advanced programmers feel free to chime in. For now I't

------------------Below I will be posting learning curves and updates as I learn this complicated HID stuff --------------

Still reading this :

From what I'm coming to understand FlowStone get's the descriptors and stuff already for us using the HID module. It's transpiring the signals into instructions to then be passed to the Xbox 360 module. For now I'll focus on HID as my primary learning objective. Then ask more questions. Here's what I got so far!
