Hi all,
I'm very new to this list, so hello all!
I'm just starting out using python, my background is lamp.
I have a Prolific Technologies bridged usb cable that I wish to talk to
using pyusb and libusb, I've tried following examples and compiling my
own code but I'm really struggling getting it to work.
I'm trying to send a sequence of letters to the cable, for them to
reappear on the other side. I've been trying to use bulkWrite and
bulkRead methods but I'm not sure I'm using them right. There's also
controlMethod, but I'm not sure what that is used for.
Can anyone help get me started, I'm concerned mostly with the
communication, I reckon I could actually get somewhere if I can just
nail the first bit, here's my code so far:
* Cheers in advance, Mike.
