In this note i will show how to change the VID/PID and the name of the Arduino-based device on the example of the Arduino Pro Micro.Ĭool Tip: Simulate keystrokes using the Arduino boards! Read more → Change Arduino Device’s VID/PID/Name If you are developing for example some Arduino-based USB HID keyboard, you may want to change the device’s VID/PID and the name, so the computer or any other host identifies and displays it as a standard keyboard.
Vendor IDs (VID) and product IDs (PID) are 16-bit numbers used to identify USB devices.īy these numbers a computer identifies what USB device is plugged in and what drivers to use with it.
