HID - USB Communication

[Adam1213]

I am trying to use Autoit for usb communication with a HID (human interface device).

I have found an USB library which should be able to do the communication (the sample app provided worked). I am currently trying to use the dll that they provide to interface with ta device however I am still trying to work out how to make it work.

Some lines of YOUR code should help the experts here to help you [hint]

I am still trying to open the usb port properly - currently I am getting an error that the function does not exist within the dll (despite it being documented as being a function within that dll...)...

Please help because I need this to write a script so I can tell when the Rock Band 2 controller buttons are pressed...

So what do you need help with? Is the "Rock Band 2 controller" recognised as a keyboard or game device?

Game controller. I basically need to be able to read the input from a HID.

Game controller. I basically need to be able to read the input from a HID.

Well since it is a game device I see 2 options:

• Use the joystick funcs from my SDL udf. It could be a little flaky since only polling is available right now, I haven't got events working yet.
• Or maybe you could make something out of THIS thread where Authenticity gets input from a HID device (I believe it was a remote acting as a keyboard)
