Re: Starting HID Development



Patrick,

It sounds to me that your devices is not HID compliant and is vendor specific. When you run USB prober on the device what information do you get? Does that device give out a HID ID or does it default to vendor specific?

If it is vendor specific you may need to consider how it is sending the data. If it works on PC I suspect it's running a serial emulation through the USB port.

My advice would be also to contact the vendor on which method they use? They may even pay you to do it?... thou slim when you say Mac in a sentence with mundane manufactures.

But it does not hurt to contact the hardware developer how integrated the USB connectivity... if you are really lucky you will get the programmer that programmed it for the PC... they should give you all the information you need.

Good luck,

Hi Folks,

Since a few week's I am trying to connect an USB-Voltmeter at my iBook.
After plugging in the usb cable, the USB Prober shows some information about
the device.
I tried to read out values through the HID Manager I've downloaded before,
but it was not possible to read anything.
After weeks of unsuccessful attempts I'm absolutely helpless and without any
further ideas.


Can anybody here give me some hints how to connect and read data from the
device with C++ or Java? The only information I have is the output of the
USB Prober. Nothing more.


Thanks for any help,

Patrick Heneise
