Using DirectInput to send data

[Dobaz]

Hello,

I need to communicate with a joystcik which has a Atmel microcontroller inside and need to send custom data.

It's written in the HID page that DirectIput support both direction usb communication in spite of the name.  Is that right?
Can I use it to load any kind of data like a new program to the bootloader of my Atmel chip or some custom orders...?



Thanks

DirectInput is for mouse, keyboard, and joystick functions, not device-specific communications like firmware uploading.
