<h3>NOTE: Support is VERY limited for this library. It is almost impossible to troubleshoot issues with so many devices and configurations. The community may be able to offer some assistance <i>but you will largely be on your own</i>. If you submit an issue, please include a relevant code snippet and details about your operating system, .NET version and device. Pull requests are welcome and appreciated.</h3>

Resources

If your interested in HID development here are a few invaluable resources:

  1. Jan Axelson's USB Hid Programming Page - Excellent resource for USB Hid development. Full code samples in a number of different languages demonstrate how to use the Windows setup and Hid API.
  2. Jan Axelson's book 'USB Complete' - Jan Axelson's guide to USB programming. Very good covereage of Hid. Must read for anyone new to Hid programming.
