| Is it possible to communicate with a USB device in Blitz? I'm starting to look at electronics for fun and wanted to make something simple like something that beeps when a key is pressed. (Also a quick question for anyone who may have done something like this, would a driver need to be made for it to work?) Thanks Matt |

| Is it possible to communicate with a USB device in Blitz? Not directly, no. (Also a quick question for anyone who may have done something like this, would a driver need to be made for it to work?) Probably. Unless your device can work with one of the standard drivers supplied with your OS of choice. |

| You'd be best looking at something like Nigel Brown's SerialIO module... http://www.nigelibrown.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/blitz/index.html |

| http://vertex.art-fx.org/GBA-Net.zip (sorry, bad code) Communication between BMax and GBA Flashlinker. You need a usb driver. This driver you open with CreateFile command(winapi, you get a handle of this driver). Now, you must know, what functions this driver support. This functions have a "IOControlCode". You must use to communicate with this driver the DeviceIOControl function. You hand out the IOControlCode. You request goes to in-pointer, the answer will go in out-pointer. Request size as in-size, answer size as out-size. (Is like CallDLL in BlitzBASIC) I don't know, if a usb driver support file streams like writef readf. At the end, you must close the driver with CloseHandle. cu olli |

| Vertex, could you please repost your code. I need to interface with an USB device and a working example would be real nice to have. I have the required hardware to do so ;) |
