USB HID Weighing Devices #116

Open N3Roaster opened 10 years ago

N3Roaster commented 10 years ago

Typica should support scales that conform to the USB HID standard for weighing devices as described in section 4 of http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/pos1_02.pdf

Unless I find something better suited for this that is license compatible, I believe the best approach to this would be to leverage http://www.signal11.us/oss/hidapi/ to provide a cross platform interface. The original license is compatible with Typica's license so there should be no issue with including that and it should greatly reduce the development effort required to provide this support on Mac, Windows, and Linux. The source is hosted on GitHub so keeping this up to date should also be easy. https://github.com/signal11/hidapi
