Accessing HID Devices...
-
hey everyone, I have purchased an Omron M10-IT (HEM-7080IT-E) which has the ability to connect to the device and download data via it's USB connection. Using the software sent with the device, everything's fine, but when trying to read/write anything, it either echo's the sent value or just waits for a response (which it never gets) Has anyone come across any pit falls when developing applications that access the HID Api in windows? I can find and connect to the device, get the capabilities, but can't read/write. :( Cheers Gavin

Be very careful when using HID directly, strange things may happen. I remember a colleague of mine who experimented with a Philips DPM 9620 dictation device. Suddenly, it did not work correctly anymore, and insisted in being a Philips DPM 9370 (a far cheaper model). We were not able to treat that personality disorder...
