Marketing Schmarketing.
You put software on the internet for free.
You allow all kinds of people to create programs that actually make that software useable.
Those people have invested MANY hours in developing your free product. (about 100 or so from me).
Once that product becomes popular, you go, ... Hey there's a lot of people that want this. I shouldn't be giving it away.
Hogwash!
Maybe it's time for DT_HID, or even TJ_HID.

I certainly hope that they do the right thing by their contributors.
Another example of this sort of thing is MAME - (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) Initially back in 97 they swore on a stack of Bibles that it would never ever be for profit. Today it can be found on eBay living inside a rather large game box supporting over 1,000 games. Besides the fact that they've breached over a decade's worth of copyright -- where's the contributors share?

If you are going to start something like this, a cross platform version would be nice. Java?Originally Posted by Darrel Taylor
I am not very good with Java yet, but I would help where I can.

Java actually has all the protocols for USB. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/li...ary/j-usb.html

The conclusion on that page says the two APIs are for linux, has any work been done for windows and mac?
Something that maybe could be compiled on the machine it is going to run on?

That's right, good news for Linux users! Unfortunately, I don't think there's support for other OS's. You wouldn't do a project like this in Java. Out of the scope of my skill level, absolutely no way. I think it would take a kernel developer to pull it off actually.

lmfao ...
I think Darrel's seriously having himself on too (unless of course he's a proficient expert in C++ and just hasn't mentioned it)

Being that I am a Linux user I might start playing with it.
Might be time to learn a little more about python. I have heard some good things about PyUSB, heard bad too~

C++, never touch the stuff. I do Delphi.
However, there's no need for an external program.
It can all be handled by the assembler.
An include file, with the USB configuration defined in the top of the PBP program.
On the PC side, the program is just a standard example.
Plug in the VID/PID and away you go.
