Title: HID and Tcl
Post by: Guido Koerber on August 18, 2011, 05:36:06 pm

Does anybody have experience with using HID devices from Tcl? I just got a question from a customer who wants to do that.

I have experience; I've been communicating with HID devices from TCL for many years;  I have written many TCL based diagnostic tools which communicate with HID devices.   TCL can be a great rapid developing interpretative language for prototyping apps and for debugging embedded USB designs.  I create a comparable TCL function call for each of our DLL C++ functions which allows for TCL rapid scripting of debug tools, status utils, diagnostics tools, or wizard utilities.   Release applications can be written in C++ while debugging tools can be developed more loosely and quickly using TCL scripts.
