AIR native extension, wrapper for HIDAPI

General Information

1. Requirements (build): Java runtime, Gradle, MinGW (Windows), MinGW-Utils (Windows, mingw-util-0.3 since 0.4 is broken), GNU utilities for Win32 (Windows), XCode (Mac OS X)

2. Building extension for both Windows and Mac OS does not make sense, because native installer must be used anyway. This is why extension is build separately for each platform.

3. See application\extensions\unpacked\readme.txt for debug info.

4. HIDAPI http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/

Known Issues

You might experience problems debugging your application using FB on Mac OSX - http://forums.adobe.com/message/4869042, Issue 7 .

Example

   var manager:IHIDManager = HIDFactory.getHIDManager();

   var deviceInfos:Array = manager.getDeviceList(0x8001, 0xA00F);//0x8001, 0xA00F
   var wmouse:HidDeviceInfo;
   for each (var hidDeviceInfo:HidDeviceInfo in deviceInfos)
   {
         if (hidDeviceInfo.interface_number == 1)
         {
             wmouse = hidDeviceInfo;
             break;
         }
   }
   if (wmouse)
   {
         log.info("getDeviceByPath {0}", wmouse);
         var device:IHIDDevice = manager.getDeviceByPath(wmouse.path);
         if (device.open())
         {
             log.info("getManufacturerString: {0}", device.getManufacturerString());
             log.info("getProductString: {0}", device.getProductString());
             log.info("getSerialNumberString: {0}", device.getSerialNumberString());
             device.close();
         }
         device.dispose();
   }

air-hid-usb's Issues

Unable to read reports

I have a USB keyboard & mouse combo with 3 interfaces: HID keyboard, HID mouse and a generic 64-byte data transfer interface. The keyboard sends a 6-byte data block via the 64-byte interface everytime a key is pressed. I can find and open the device but can't get any reading.

Little help for byteArray value...

Edit : OK I found a solution :) you can close this post.

Hi Kemsky and thanks for sharing your work :)

I am not an expert in binary and I need a little help because I c'ant fin any AS3 resources on how to read data from HID devices.

My main problem is that I don't' know witch byteArray I need to pass to the read function.
If I understand, the first byte must match the report ID...

_ba = new ByteArray();
_ba.writeByte(0x1);
trace(_device.read(_ba));

But I always get "10" on return.

I need to get the "Ry" value (rotation) that is in red on this screen capture...

Well, I am lost...do you have any example or explanation on how to make the AS3 byteArray and HID Devices compatible ?

Best regards.
