I wonder, from those who understand such things, how one would make
Revolution talk to phidgets (http://www.phidgets.com/index.php), which
are essentially little USB sensors/controllers etc. There are a whole
set of libraries available, but I wonder which is the route of least
resistance? I asked about a CLI, but there are reasons why this will
never happen, so talking to phidgets through shell commands won't work.

While Rev makes it easy to interface with similar serial devices, it
provides no routines for taking to a USB device, so I don't think this
is going to work directly. If a shell command can't work, then the
only other option (if you are on a Mac) is if they offer an
AppleScript scripting addition.

If you are looking for an alternative, I use Weeder modules
<http://www.weedtech.com/> for this sort of thing, and they work very
well. I use a Mac with an FTDI USB-serial adapter.

Cheers,
Sarah
