] The USB HID class is a powerful and versatile way to get

] example shows how.

You can use the surprisingly able HID Class of USB drivers (including in all OSes) that normally control keyboards and mice to do just about anything, if you don't mind using the low speed interface.

This is definately the future of my hardware device research. Even Java can access these HID devices. Thus I can create hardware devices that work on all platforms supporting USB, and quickly write applications that will work without having to write device drivers for multiple platforms. SCORE
