Espruino USB HID GamePad - v0.1a ready ! ( may also be Bluetooth & RN42 ready .. )

Hi there !

I'll be writing the hc-05->RN42 guide the coming week ( with screenshots ;p )

on another subject, I uncovered dust from a STM32F3DISCOVERY yesterday & this time, took enough time to experiment with CubeMX-generated & modded stuff as well as flashing the thing.
( the goal is to familiarize myself enough with the stm32 environment without messing with one of my Espruino boards ;) ).
I succefully flashed a mouse HID & a keyboard+media HID to it, but for some reason, I can't get the GamePad HID to work as intended: it's detected as such, but I still have a byte-related trouble with the buttons ( the joysticks works fine ).

Thing is: I'm still wondering why the heck is doing so, since after multiple readings of the following code, I see no errors ? :|
Shouldn't it work if "sizeof(struct gamepadHID_t)" equals to "HID_EPIN_SIZE" ?

/* ==== main.c ==== */
/* USER CODE BEGIN 1 */
struct gamepadHID_t
  {
    //uint16_t buttons;
    uint8_t buttons1;
    uint8_t buttons2;
    int8_t left_x;
    int8_t left_y;
    int8_t right_x;
    int8_t right_y;
  };
  struct gamepadHID_t gamepadHID;
  //gamepadHID.buttons = 0b0000000000000000;

  gamepadHID.buttons1 = 0b01111111;
  gamepadHID.buttons2 = 0b01111111;
  gamepadHID.left_x = 127;
  gamepadHID.left_y = 127;
  gamepadHID.right_x = -127;
  gamepadHID.right_y = -127;

  USBD_HID_SendReport(&hUsbDeviceFS, &gamepadHID, sizeof(struct gamepadHID_t));
  //HAL_Delay(30);
  //unsigned char data[HID_DATA_IN_PACKET_SIZE] = { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
  //unsigned char data[6] = { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
  //uint8_t data[6] = { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
  //uint8_t data[6] = { 0x00, 0x00, 127, 127, 127, 127}; // works with below T
  //uint8_t data[6] = { 127, 00, 127, 127, 127, 127}; // nope
  //USBD_HID_SendReport(data, 6);
  //USBD_HID_SendReport(&hUsbDeviceFS, &data, sizeof(data)); // "T" works, but 'implicit declaration' ..

};

Once the above is fixed, one of the next steps is porting the Xbox360 controller code to it ( and then continue digging how to use an existing controller for the handshake part .. ).

As a side note, I tried but coouldn't get Espruino on the board ?
I used the Espruino_1V92 & Espruino_1V92.3 firmwares ( it seems 1V99 isn't available on the repos for the STM32F3DISCOVERY )
( I took not of the need for unplugging & replugging the 'USB USER' plug, but no /dev/tty<..> ever appear on my mac :/ )
The cli commands I used are the following:

// to flash any firmware generated from a 'make' call on CubeMX-generated files
st-flash --format ihex write ./build/stm32f3discovery_hidTest1.hex
// to flash Espruino firmware ? :|
st-flash erase // to clean stuff
st-flash write ./espruino_1v92/espruino_1v92.3_stm32f3d­iscovery.bin 0x08000000
