Project description

PyCH9329-HID

PyCH9329-HID is a high-level Python package for CH9329 HID chip, designed to provide seamless, OS-independent peripheral control via serial communication.


🎯 Target Use Cases

Use Case Description
AI Vision Agents Perfect for models like UI-TARS or Claude Computer Use that require high-fidelity interaction with a screen based on visual coordinates
Test Automation Reliable UI testing on macOS/Windows/Linux without requiring OS-level accessibility permissions
Embedded Robotics Controlling computers via Raspberry Pi or ESP32 using a physical CH9329 USB dongle

📦 Installation

pip install pych9329-hid

Requirements

  • Python >= 3
  • pyserial

Import Options

You can use either of the full package name or shorter alias:

# Option 1: Full package name
from pych9329_hid import HIDController, CH9329, SerialTransport

# Option 2: Short alias (recommended)
from pych9329 import HIDController, CH9329, SerialTransport

Both options work identically - choose whichever you prefer!


🚀 Quick Start

Basic Usage - Low Level Protocol

from pych9329 import CH9329, SerialTransport

# Create transport and CH9329 instance
with SerialTransport(port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=115200) as transport:
    ch9329 = CH9329(transport)
    
    # Send keyboard report
    ch9329.send_keyboard(modifier=0, keycodes=[0x04])
    
    # Send relative mouse movement
    ch9329.send_mouse_rel(dx=10, dy=5, buttons=0x01)
    
    # Send absolute mouse position
    ch9329.send_mouse_abs(x=100, y=200, buttons=0x01)

High-Level HID Controller

from pych9329 import HIDController, CH9329, SerialTransport

# Create HID controller
with SerialTransport(port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=115200) as transport:
    ch9329 = CH9329(transport)
    controller = HIDController(ch9329, screen_width=1920, screen_height=1080)
    
    # Keyboard operations
    controller.press('a')
    controller.write('Hello World')
    controller.hotkey('cmd', 'space')
    
    # Mouse operations
    controller.moveTo(100, 200, duration=0.5)
    controller.click(button='left')
    controller.dragRel(50, 30)
    
    # Scrolling
    controller.scroll(5)  # Scroll up
    controller.hscroll(-2)  # Scroll left

📚 API Reference

send_mouse_abs(x, y, buttons, wheel) Send absolute mouse position

HIDController (High-Level API)

Keyboard Operations

Method Description Example
press(key) Press and release a key controller.press('a')
keyDown(key) Press and hold a key controller.keyDown('shift')
keyUp(key) Release a key controller.keyUp('shift')
write(text) Type a string controller.write('Hello')
hotkey(*keys) Press key combination controller.hotkey('cmd', 'a')

Mouse Operations

Method Description Example
moveTo(x, y, duration) Move mouse to coordinates controller.moveTo(100, 200, duration=0.5)
moveRel(dx, dy, duration) Move mouse relatively controller.moveRel(10, 5)
click(button, clicks) Click mouse button controller.click('left', clicks=2)
mouseDown(button) Press and hold button controller.mouseDown('left')
mouseUp(button) Release button controller.mouseUp('left')
dragRel(dx, dy) Drag relatively controller.dragRel(50, 30)
dragTo(x, y) Drag to coordinates controller.dragTo(100, 200)

Scrolling

Method Description Example
scroll(clicks) Vertical scroll controller.scroll(5)
hscroll(clicks) Horizontal scroll controller.hscroll(-2)

🔧 Configuration

HIDController Parameters

Parameter Type Default Description
screen_width int 1920 Screen width in pixels
screen_height int 1080 Screen height in pixels
dwelling_time float 0.01 Delay between operations (seconds)
move_interval float 0.015 Mouse movement interval (seconds)
keypress_hold_time float 0.05 Key press duration (seconds)

📝 Examples

List Available Serial Devices

import serial.tools.list_ports

ports = serial.tools.list_ports.comports()
for port in ports:
    print(f"Port: {port.device}, Description: {port.description}")

Complete Automation Example

from pych9329_hid import HIDController, CH9329, SerialTransport
import time

with SerialTransport(port='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=115200) as transport:
    ch9329 = CH9329(transport)
    controller = HIDController(ch9329, screen_width=1920, screen_height=1080)
    
    # Open Spotlight (macOS)
    controller.hotkey('cmd', 'space')
    time.sleep(0.5)
    
    # Type application name
    controller.write('Terminal')
    time.sleep(0.5)
    
    # Press Enter
    controller.press('enter')
    time.sleep(1)
    
    # Type command
    controller.write('echo "Hello from CH9329!"')
    controller.press('enter')
