Tried it with an Arduino Nano Every with no luck.
Well given the automatic upload logic
This should work. Can you fully describe your setup with the attached devices and corresponding PIDs, VIDs and product IDs? Also a log of pio run -t upload -v?
It is an “Arduino Nano Every”, VID 2341, PID 0058
I want to change the PID to 0043 an the name “#lighthack”
PIO version Home 3.0.1 and Core 4.1.0 and macOS Catalina 10.15.2
Where can I find the code in system?
Here the log:

The script changes the USB PIDs and VIDs to search for, not the PID and VID of the USB device. This is sent by the USB device in the USB descriptors and you’d have to change the firmware or bootloader in order to change these values. I’m not sure where the bootloader for the Arduino Every is. I think the usecase for these scripts is that, given some devices with a customized VID/PID, you can all connect them at once and flash them in a targeted manner.
build.hwids is incorrect in your case. See docs Redirecting...
It should be an array of [VID, PID] pairs.
There is a general misunderstood, I want to change the VID/PID of a board itself, not the search for. When I understood right, this must be done by boot loader or other tools.

I was thinking that you’d need to alter the bootloader like is done with some other boards, but it might be simpler than that. From the looks of the BSP for the megaAVR, the VID/PID are set compile time
I don’t have any of the boards, so can’t try it… but perhaps set those two flags (or all four if you want) as platformio.ini build_flags and see if that changes them… and if it does, you’ll probably need to do the PID/VID override for platformio so that it recognises the new IDs.
This does not work, I tried first.
Same problems here as well.
Just to recap, here’s my platformio.ini config:
[env:teensy2pp]
platform = teensy
board = teensy2pp
framework = arduino
build_flags = -D USB_HID
extra_scripts = pre:custon_hwids.py
and my custon_hwids.py python script file:
Import("env")
board_config = env.BoardConfig()
# should be array of VID:PID pairs
board_config.update("build.hwids", [
["0x2341", "0x0243"] # VID, PID ?
])
I have reduced edits to the minimum and followed https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/projectconf/advanced_scripting.html#override-board-configuration as suggested before but problem still persists.
When I type: lsusb to see all my peripherals I cannot see anything like 2341:0243.
What am I doing wrong ?
PS: python 3.8.2, Arch Linux AMD64, latest PlatformIO inside latest VSCode to date (2020-05)
Thanks
Ben
Sure you’re not having the same misunderstanding? As it says above
Since you’re using Teensy 2 with the USB-HID code, the PID and VID is hardcoded for you.
Try to first change that in the soruce code (<home folder>\.platformio\package\framework-arduinoteensy\...) and see if that works, then you can still do a custom platform_package or script to change it on the fly.

Thanks @maxgerhardt, after careful reading your advice I’ve solved it.
I’m fine with current Teensy platform and I’m not that expert (yet) so instead of creating a custom platform_package I have just altered usb_private.h file. After my first successful attempt I’ve scripted it in platformio.ini with something like:
extra_scripts = buildHooks.py
and a 10 lines script to change VID/PID before and after compilation

Hi @beninside
I have made a simple joystick and controller and have been trying to change the VID, PID, and name on the Teensy LC boards that are being used in them. I am a hardware guy and trying to figure this out is scrambling my brain. I changed the VID, PID, and name in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\teensy\avr\cores\usb_hid\usb_private.h file but have had no success in getting the boards to be identified properly. They both are just listed in the device manager as keyboard+mouse+joystick.
Do I have to add anything to the sketch? I’ve read about writing an .ini file but that is so far beyond me.
I’ve been searching for an answer for several weeks now but have yet to find an answer.
Sorry if this is such a noob request but can you help me out?
Thanks
John
Hi @doon1 ,
I have just changed VID,PID defines in usb_private.h to see what happens and it worked, in the same files I’ve also seen descriptions and common information published when I need to collect some usb info (lsusb -v with my OS, but you’ll surely have something like that on Win as well). After that I’ve had some troubles with the Teensy Loader (GUI) and I manually need to reset the Teensy with its button to upload new code.
Now I’ve switched to the cli utility (adding a line in my platformio.ini project file) so when Visual Studio uploads everything I can see output on console without switching to other graphical programs. but I’ve reset VID/PID information to defaults, I’ll do some tests again when I’ll finish real code and real project.
In my final release I’d like to change device descriptions and VID:PID, I’d like to upload new code to device when needed and I don’t want to press reset button to do this. I’ll have more than one teensy device in a closed box without external reset buttons, each Teensy must have different VID:PIDs because they’re doing different things and when I upload my code I’d like to upload to proper device. I still don’t know how to achieve that but hopefully I’ll find a way.
This is something I’ve already had with older AVR devices (ATMega 168,328,…) with V-USB (gcc without Arduino) and avrdude without troubles, I’d like to do the same even if TeensyLoader doesn’t want it.
Still looking information for that, PlatformIO environment is complex but seems to be a really good tool I only need to get “suggested way” and keep it maintainable with more than one device.
I’ll share info when I’ll find something.

can you share your working buildHooks.py ?
Thanks !
@beninside Could you share your 10 line scrip to change VID/PID on a Teensy?
This thread is among top results on google, but it is missing just this 1 detail.
I got it working with a teensy 2.0. Here are the steps I took (likely there are ways to optimize this)
Caution: Once you change PID and VID, platform.io will no longer recognize the device as a teensy and you won’t be able to reupload code with platform.io. (Work around is to use teensyduino application)
- Find all
usb_private.hfiles in~/.platform.iodirectory
find ~/.platformio -type f -name usb_private.h
/Users/foobar/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/usb_disk/usb_private.h
/Users/foobar/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/usb_hid/usb_private.h
/Users/foobar/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/usb_flightsim/usb_private.h
/Users/foobar/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/usb_serial/usb_private.h
/Users/foobar/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/usb_serial_hid/usb_private.h
/Users/foobar/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/teensy/usb_private.h
/Users/foobar/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/usb_rawhid/usb_private.h
/Users/foobar/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/usb_midi/usb_private.h
Since I’m using a teensy, I want .platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/teensy/usb_private.h
Looking in that file I see conditional includes depending on what type of device it is (HID, Keyboard, joystick ect…)
#if defined(USB_SERIAL)
#include "usb_serial/usb_private.h"
#elif defined(USB_HID)
#include "usb_hid/usb_private.h"
#elif defined(USB_SERIAL_HID)
#include "usb_serial_hid/usb_private.h"
#elif defined(USB_DISK) || defined(USB_DISK_SDFLASH)
#include "usb_disk/usb_private.h"
#elif defined(USB_MIDI)
#include "usb_midi/usb_private.h"
#elif defined(USB_RAWHID)
#include "usb_rawhid/usb_private.h"
#elif defined(USB_FLIGHTSIM)
#include "usb_flightsim/usb_private.h"
#endif
I chose to set my device to a USB_SERIAL_HID. To do that I modified platform.ini to include a build flag build_flags = -D USB_SERIAL_HID
[env:teensy2]
platform = teensy
board = teensy2
framework = arduino
build_flags = -D USB_SERIAL_HID
I then manually modified usb_serial_hid/usb_private.h with the PID and VID I want
59 //TODO: Revert these lines
60 //#define VENDOR_ID 0x16C0
61 //#define PRODUCT_ID 0x0487
62
63 #define VENDOR_ID 0xAAAA
64 #define PRODUCT_ID 0xBBBB
Build and upload and observe the PID and VID are now the programmed value.
I would much rather do this in a more repeatable way, but this is good enough for a proof of concept.
system_profiler SPUSBDataType (OSX)
lsusb (linux)
I finally got this working.
Here is how to use a custom VID:PID
The official documentation is here:
- Extra Python packages — PlatformIO latest documentation
- Pre & Post Actions — PlatformIO latest documentation
Create a script named foobar.py and put it in the same directory as platform.ini
Import("env")
print(env.Dump())
board_config = env.BoardConfig()
# should be array of VID:PID pairs
board_config.update("build.hwids", [
["0xAAA", "0xBBB"]
])
In platformio.ini add an extra_scripts stanza and prefix it with either pre: or post:
[env:pro-micro]
platform = atmelavr
board = sparkfun_promicro16
build_flags = -D USB_SERIAL_HID
framework = arduino
extra_scripts = pre:foobar.py
Once you upload code, the VID:PID will be modifed
Hey guys,
