As I understand it, I am using Software Serial to collect the buffer I am transmitting to pin 10 (from js). Then I would like to write the buffer using some HID emulation library. My question is, with the buffer I have defined above, would this work and how would I specify the arguments to HID.SendReport(...)?

but you think that if I initialized the HID, that buffer might work? Could you also speak to what id, data, and len might be in this case?

| Mar 3, 2020 at 6:21 | comment | added | Juraj♦ | @SterlingButters, your code in Question doesn't initialize and use HID, so there is no HID in play and sure not over SoftwareSerial | |

Perhaps HID.SendReport(uint8_t id, const void* data, int len) might work but idk what id, data, or len would be exactly in this context... maybe id is the buffer and len is 8 but what would data be?

I am thinking that the Serial is not sure how to parse the input buffer. I thought that it might work for a Keyboard.write(<buffer>) method since the report descriptor in Keyboard.cpp might know how to parser the buffer input - but to no avail. This was part of reason for the question "what does Serial.write(...) represent?...
