Title: Getting readings/data from a usb device?
Post by: johnjameson on April 10, 2012, 01:43:08 pm

Hey guys,I've been reading over some example code for detecting a usb when its put into a pc and just wondering where is there any example code for taking data from a usb device
for example reading data from a sensor?

My HID and WinUSB example code can read data for any purpose:

Or you can use a USB virtual serial port device and access the device as if it were a physical serial port:
