Audio Controls via Human Interface Device (HID)
===============================================
The design supports simple audio controls such as play/pause, volume up/down etc via the USB Human
Interface Device Class Specification.
This functionality is enabled by setting the ``HID_CONTROLS`` define to ``1``. Setting to ``0``
disables this feature.
When turned on the following items are enabled:
#. HID descriptors are enabled in the Configuration Descriptor informing the host that the device has HID interface
#. A Get Report Descriptor request is enabled in ``endpoint0``.
#. Endpoint data handling is enabled in the ``buffer`` core
The Get Descriptor Request enabled in endpoint 0 returns the report descriptor for the HID device.
This details the format of the HID reports returned from the device to the host. It maps a bit in
the report to a function such as play/pause.
The USB Audio Framework implements a report descriptor that should fit most basic audio device controls.
If further controls are necessary the HID Report Descriptor in ``descriptors.h`` should be modified.
The default report size is 1 byte with the format as follows:
.. table:: Default HID Report Format
+-------------+-------------------------+
| Bit | Function |
+=============+=========================+
| 0 | Play/Pause |
+-------------+-------------------------+
| 1 | Scan Next Track |
+-------------+-------------------------+
| 2 | Scan Prev Track |
+-------------+-------------------------+
| 3 | Volume Up |
+-------------+-------------------------+
| 4 | Volume Down |
+-------------+-------------------------+
| 5 | Mute |
+-------------+-------------------------+
| 6-7 | Unused |
+-------------+-------------------------+
On each HID report request from the host the function ``Vendor_ReadHidButtons(unsigned char hidData[])`` is called from ``buffer()``. This function is passed an array ``hidData[]`` by reference. The programmer should report the state of his buttons into this array. For example, if a volume up command is desired, bit 3 should be set to 1, else 0.
Since the ``Vendor_ReadHidButtons()`` function is called from the ``buffer`` logical core, care should be taken not to add to much execution time to this function since this could cause issues with servicing other endpoints.
