I think this device is a Sasem OnAir Remocon IR/VFD combo. The VFD is a Samsung. I found a windoze driver for it. I suppose the best way to proceed is to plug it into a windows machine and load the driver and poke at it that way. Any suggestions for tools I might use to observe and replicate the behaviour of the windows driver? I have emailed a request for information to sasem.com, but unfortunately the only emails listed on their website are for sales and marketing. There is also a windows application called girder which manages the IR portion. I'm new to USB programming and its been years since I've written a device driver. The output of lsusb tells me that there is one configuration and one interface with 2 endpoints (let me know if I'm using the terminology wrong because I'll be the first to admit I don't know what I'm talking about). The endpoint addresses are EP 1 0x81 (IN) and EP 2 0x02 (OUT). The maxpacketsize on both endpoints is 8 and the transfer type is interrupt. With a verndorid of 0x11ba and a productid of 0x0101, might I be able to use usbserial as "insmod vendor=0x11ba product=0x0101" and create a device node in /dev/usb to send and receive data to/from it? Or am I thinking of usbserial the wrong way? Any help appreciated. -Henry Culver -Culver Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program. > Do you like what SourceForge.net is doing for the Open > Source Community?
