Thread: Sdk?

I'm unable to connect to my FB from my VB code (also VB.net Express : ) but the Fusion Control can. The strange bit is I don't have an entry in my registry where I see some software looking. How does Fusion Control MDX find my Fusion Brain, since I can't seem to find my organic one?

Try it with my code. You want the fusion brain code demonstration.
http://lefebure.com/software/

The only registry entry I read is one that stores the VID/PID of the connected brains. If you already know what that is (via Device Manager) then you don't have to check the registry to see what is available. In your case, I wonder if it cannot write that stuff to the registry due to a permission issue or something. Or maybe 2k1 released a new driver that plays differently. I've been using a driver from 6 months ago.

USB\VID_04D8&PID_000C&REV_0000
USB\VID_04D8&PID_000C

these are the id's I found in device manager, neither work, from my reading I THINK that they are in the right format, but I've been wrong before

Maybe I should blame Vista? (heard from behind monitors everywhere: "Oooooh....*sigh*")

I acquired your software earlier (actually, I grabbed the copy of FusionUSB.DLL that I'm using from it : ) and it can't find the registry entry (and thus connect) I've even tried manually placing the id's above in and nada, perhaps there is a different piece of information that I could grab from the device manager? (Ex: guid, or compatible Ids or...?)

Thanks for the input on this rather...specific and weird problem

EDIT: Hmm...using this DLL I should also be able to connect to my USB mouse and get a bunch of jarbled data, right?

If using LibUSB drivers, you must use the libusb files to communicate with the brain.

If using FusionUSB.dll, you need to install the Fusion Brain with the Microsoft WinUSB drivers which we do not use anymore.

These drivers do NOT play nice together. You must completely uninstall one before installing the other. And I mean completely or you will get random freezups.

Vista is not to blame, I am developing for the Fusion Brain on it right now. I also use it on XP and it works just fine.

I suggest looking here for examples on how to connect: http://www.fusioncontrolcentre.com/M...cationClass.cs

I'm still using the FusionUSB.dll and the VID/PID looks like:

USB\VID_04D8&PID_000C\5&39258cb2&0&1

Make sure you have the &0&1 on the end.

Or start using the new drivers, which is a better long term solution.

Sooo...this would be the adaptation?

Code:

Public Class UCSettingsIO
    <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("C:\Program Files\Fusion Control Centre Uber MDX Edition\Drivers\libusb0.dll")> <System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(False)> _
    Public Shared Function usb_init() As Integer
    End Function
    <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("C:\Program Files\Fusion Control Centre Uber MDX Edition\Drivers\libusb0.dll")> _
    Public Shared Function usb_find_busses() As Integer
    End Function
...
    <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("C:\Program Files\Fusion Control Centre Uber MDX Edition\Drivers\libusb0.dll")> _
    Public Shared Function usb_get_busses() As StructFormat
    End Function
    <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("C:\Program Files\Fusion Control Centre Uber MDX Edition\Drivers\libusb0.dll")> _
    Public Shared Function usb_open(ByRef usb_device) As StructFormat
    End Function
...
    <System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("C:\Program Files\Fusion Control Centre Uber MDX Edition\Drivers\libusb0.dll")> _
    Public Shared Function usb_get_string(ByRef dev, ByVal index, ByVal langid, ByRef buf, ByVal buflen) As Integer
    End Function

Or am I way off?

To use libusb-win32 in your own programs include the supplied header file usb.h, and link against the import library (libraries for GCC, BCC, and MSVC are available)

(http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/)

I don't think these or the

Code:

using LibUsbDotNet;
using LibUsbDotNet.Usb;
using LibUsbDotNet.Usb.Main;

used in the example file (THANK YOU) are VB.net friendly, just for C++/C#.net right?

LibUSBDotNet is .NET friendly. VB.NET and C# compile to the same thing.

LibUSB win32 is C++/VB friendly.

in a typical install I'm assuming the LibUSBDotNet file is:
C:\Program Files\Fusion Control Centre Uber MDX Edition\Configurator\LibUsbDotNet.dll

It is both there and in MDX's folder.

It is not installed to the system location, so basically the program folder can be copy/pasted to a new computer and still work, assuming you have the dependencies installed.
