Error: LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

[moe-the-fabber]

hey gandhimonik,

maybe you remember we wrote back on the parrot sdk board. I dropped my attempt. I'd like to use yours but i keep getting this error when i try to connect. Do you have any idea why this keeps happening?

Hey moe-the-fabber,

Can you attach the project you have created to use the library?

[moe-the-fabber]

sure here you go: (using win7)

 const Drone = require('parrot-minidrone');
const drone = new Drone({
    autoconnect: true,
});

drone.on('connected', () => drone.takeOff());
drone.on('flightStatusChange', (status) => {
    if (status === 'hovering') {
        drone.land();
        process.exit();
    }
});

[gandhimonik]

I believe you are using some other library because your require expression is trying to fetch 'parrot-minidrone' instance which in case of DroneJS is 'dronejs'.

Can you check out the examples I have in the documentation and try them out?

[moe-the-fabber]

i tried out several of the exampels all with similar errors: :( `C:\Users\usr\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\dronejs\node_modules\usb\usb.js :33 this.__open() ^

OK mistery SOLVED : Windows users got to exchange their usb driver with this:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/

found this link in a readme of a library i downloaded with this command:

npm install usb -g

Good to know moe-the-fabber. I believe we can close this issue now.

[moe-the-fabber]

Solved

CLOSED

Thanks moe-the-fabber!
