Hey, this thing is cool...

Well, they support all platforms and give away the API..
they made it work with RealBasic, Java, .Net, etc.
If you're on a mac and the project demands this device, create an external..or have it made, then sell it as a product to others, or back to the Phidgets people.

One limitation would be the number of usb hubs needed on large systems. I would select a LAN based device rather than USB. Lan based systems can easily be accessed through sockets commands in Rev.

Greetings,

I wonder, from those who understand such things, how one would make
Revolution talk to phidgets (http://www.phidgets.com/index.php), which
are essentially little USB sensors/controllers etc. There are a whole
set of libraries available, but I wonder which is the route of least
resistance? I asked about a CLI, but there are reasons why this will
never happen, so talking to phidgets through shell commands won't work.



Advance thanks

Rob
