Please give developers a chance to program the device by releasing the documentation for the USB interface.

Thanks.

Hi thoor,

I've passed this request on to our engineers and will let you know if we can get this going.

you can use the daemon i wrote to get started with usb hid programming and build your own. github.com/jons/blyncd

use the hid section of the linux kernel documentation for a more comprehensive understanding. www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/hid

Hey jon,

I am trying to compile your blyncd daemon and i am getting an error running make

gcc -Wall -g blyncd.c -lhidapi-libusb -lpthread
blyncd.c:16:10: fatal error: hidapi.h: No such file or directory
#include <hidapi.h>
^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:2: all] Error 1

running Arch fully updated. i have tried looking for what package that it may contain that hidapi.h file and can not find it.

Figured it out. Not sure how to make this change in the make system. but in arch hidapi places the file in /usr/include/hidapi/ i copied the file one directory up in /usr/include if there is a way to also check for that other directory that would be great.
