This is an small script to Control Android Devices by USB using adb, you can use it with phones with a Cracked Screen or not working Touch Screen. What it Does: - Show your Android Screen on your Desktop. - Allow you to Swipe or Tap on the screen. - Allow you to send BACK button event. - Allow you to send WakeUp event. - Allow you to move in List Menu using Swipe gestures or Mouse Wheel Forward or Backward. - Refresh Screen with Wheel Click(Wheel Down)(To update your device screen on your desktop view). - Allow you to unlock your Device with Pattern only 3 points pattern for now. What it does not: - Complex Unlock Pattern not supported yet I'm working on that. - Complex Swipe gesture not supported yet, only straight lines. - PC Keyboard to write SMS or Email not Supported yet, I'm working on that. - Volume UP or Down not supported yet I will add it soon. - No configuration interface or file yet, keys and actions are pre set on script code. I will change that. What it Requires: - In order to Compile the Script you need 3 files: adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll - In order to use the script without these files or without compile it you need to copy that files to user Temp Dir, or windows Temp dir I mean @TempDir. Keys Used and Notes: - Left Click will tap on the screen. - Keep Left Click down, move the mouse and release it with perform a Swipe operation.(Mouse Drag = Swipe). - Right Click will go back. - Enter on the keyboard will send WakeUp event(Power Button) - Wheel Down will Refresh the screen on your desktop, also F5.(Take last pictures of your android device screen) IMPORTANT: There is an $scale variable on the script that scale down your Phone screenshot image to a good resolution to show on your Desktop, I use 1.5 of scale factor because my phone resolution is 480x800 and my Desktop Screen is 1366x768 and that scale factor is good enough for me.(I will calculate that in the future to make it automatic). IMPORTANT 2: If you feel is very slow feel free to decrease Sleep() values from 400 to 200, that will be faster but you will need to Refresh with Wheel Click after you perform certain actions.

Edit: If you already read this post, I updated it to better fit the scope of what I want to do. My goal is to be able to read the raw output from a usb type controller (or mouse or keyboard, don't want it to be controller-only) so i can see how / what changes when i hit buttons. I've gotten as far as finding HID page documentation and documentation for the device Struct, but I don't know where to go from here How do I tell what and Useage to use for any given controller / Keyboard / Mouse? How do I get a list of all HID devices connected and their UsagePage / Usage? How do I register multiple devices / get raw input from multiple devices at once? Here is the modified example script i am using: #include <APISysConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WinAPIGdi.au3> #include <WinAPIMisc.au3> #include <WinAPISys.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Opt('TrayAutoPause', 0) Global $iFlagsOld = 0, $iDataOld = 0 ; Create GUI Global $g_hForm = GUICreate('Test ' & StringReplace(@ScriptName, '.au3', '()'), 160, 212, @DesktopWidth - 179, @DesktopHeight - 283, BitOR($WS_CAPTION, $WS_POPUP, $WS_SYSMENU), $WS_EX_TOPMOST) ; To obtain the values of "UsagePage" and "Usage" members of this structure read HID Usage Tables documentation ; http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/HID1_11.pdf ; Disregaurd that, official USB documention = useless.

Hi, i searched the forum to communicate with a logitech G600 without using Shortcuts or Default Mouse Keys. the code below lets u use your sidekeys whenever you press down the ring key. before using the code you will have to unassign the keys in the logitech mouse driver software.

I know that this theme was discussed several times but I read all These threats with no helping result. I have two pieces of TEMPer1F USB Thermometer. It is a Standard Windows HID device with no add. Driver needed. With the device I got an App reading from it and showing Graphs and much more and which can handle several devices. With the Software came also a RDingUSB.dll file handling the communication with the device. I can call the dll without any error. But the Problem is how to Access the device using the DLL and Access more than one of same VID/PID by Serial or anything else useful. I have also sources in c# doing the Job, but no experience in C# to successfuly port it to AutoIT. So my question: Can anyone help me to realize the simple pull of the temperature value from the devices based on C# source? The rest to write it to MySQL DB and repeat it etc. is no Problem for me. *************************************** The C# part with the DLL functions class: *************************************** using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; namespace TEMPer { internal class RDing { [DllImport("RDingUSB.dll")] public static extern IntPtr OpenUSBDevice(int VID, int PID); [DllImport("RDingUSB.dll")] public static extern IntPtr CloseUSBDevice(IntPtr hDevice); [DllImport("RDingUSB.dll")] public static extern bool WriteUSB(IntPtr hDevice, byte[] pBuffer, uint dwBytesToWrite, ref ulong lpNumberOfBytesWritten); [DllImport("RDingUSB.dll")] public static extern bool ReadUSB(IntPtr hDevice, byte[] pBuffer, uint dwBytesToRead, ref ulong lpNumberOfBytesRead); [DllImport("RDingUSB.dll")] public static extern ushort GetInputLength(IntPtr hDevice); [DllImport("RDingUSB.dll")] public static extern ushort GetOutputLength(IntPtr hDevice); [DllImport("RDingUSB.dll")] public static extern uint GetErrorMsg(ref string[] lpErrorMsg, uint dwErrorMsgSize); } } ********************************* The C# code snippet working with the functions of the class above is in the attachment this is the interesting part where the data is sent and pulled which I do not understand to transcode to AutoIT Important my devices are the type2 (TEMPer1F) : ********************************* So in the end I Need: Call DLL, read all devices in array Loop the Array until ubound(Array) and for each device in Array read the temperature value and prepare the data to decimal 6,1 (SQL Format) and °C So how to pull the value from the devices? Maybe somwbody finds the important part in the C# (the code above is for different models, mine is TEMPer1F Or maybe someone has solved this and has maybe a uDF for this MainForm.cs

Hello, I can easily find my modem comport number using the code below:- #include <FileConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <WinAPIFiles.au3>    Global $key = RegRead("HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM","\Device\ssudmdm0000")     Local $iError = 0     If @error Then        ; The server is probably offline/port is not opened on the server.        $iError = @error         MsgBox(BitOR($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, $MB_ICONHAND), "", "Client:" & @CRLF & "Could not connect, Error code: " & $iError)         Else         MsgBox($MB_ SYSTEMMODAL, "MODEM:", $key)         EndIf but the thing is I am planning to design a small tool by which it can read the modem COM port and set the COM number and send AT command to modem port using UDF CommMG.au3 created by Martin. I added some below code to martins file :- ;====================================================================================================================== ;CommSendStandard,a new function for sending information to a serial port. ;====================================================================================================================== Func _CommSendStandard($port,$error,$command)    _CommSetPort($port,$error,9600,8,0,1,2)  if $error <> '' Then      MsgBox(262144,'Port Error = ',$error)  EndIf  _CommSendString($command & @CR) EndFunc   ;==>_CommGetLineStates ;=============================================================================================== After adding I wrote the below code for sending AT command to modem port but its not working. Please check the below code and let me know for the issue. ;===================================================================================== #include "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\CommMG.au3" #include <FileConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <WinAPIFiles.au3>    Global $key = RegRead("HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM","\Device\ssudmdm0000")     Local $iError = 0     If @error Then        ; The server is probably offline/port is not opened on the server.        $iError = @error         MsgBox(BitOR($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, $MB_ICONHAND), "", "Client:" & @CRLF & "Could not connect, Error code: " & $iError)         Else         MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "MODEM:", $key)         EndIf Local $port=$key Local $porterror _CommSendStandard($port,$portError,"AT+CFUN=1,1") ;================================================================================================ but If I set the port number by my own in the code (for eg :- port number 8 or any value instead of $key) it works fine and the modem gets reset.I want to know if there is any way to get the port number to a variable $port and discarding so that my above code works fine...In that case user donot have to take care of entering the port manually everytime and the script will automatically read the port number and set itself. Please help Regards, SAM

Hi. I have several different devices connected to my desktop PC with USB COM adapters. Sometimes there is some error that will cut my USB COM device communication (usualy caused by lose USB connector)... After reconnecting that USB COM adapter, by some reason, Windows will give it different COM port number. I know there are some devices with integrated COM port circuit and they are used by client programs that can found them and only them by some USB hardware relate details and then use their COM port to communicate with correct COM device. It would be better to define some known and static hardware related string from device managers USB COM adapter details to my script config file, than always redefine different COM port to it. How can I do this trick with autoit? I communicate COM devices with cfxUDF.au3 AutoIt UDF.

This peace of code does not work. I'm trying to copy all my usb files to desktop. What is wrong with it? DirCopy("E:", @DesktopDir & "\Backups\MyWork", $FC_OVERWRITE) ;Tried also this, not working. DirCopy("E:\", @DesktopDir & "\Backups\MyWork\", $FC_OVERWRITE)

How do I close a usb pop up window with auto it. If one plugs in a usb a pop up window appears like "would you like to check and repait the device..." The window has a window class of #32770, since I have to open permanently another window with that same class, I cannot WinClose("[#32770]"). Is it possible to close the window with it's Basic Control Info Class? In this case it would be 'DirectUIHWND'

Just like it says in the title. A scripter from my company gave me a script to make it run, but he's not around anymore, and my drive finally failed with no working backup. I run PortableRoboForm (http://www.roboform.com/for-usb-roboform2go-windows) version 6 from a USB drive to automate password management for hundreds of accounts with different passwords.RoboForm lets me do this, and they even have a Portable version, but it's not that portable and I'd like to use it inside a PortableApps (http://portableapps.com/) launcher. I'd like to create a script to go to the root of the USB drive and run "PortableRoboForm.exe". PortableApps only sees executables in subdirectories of the \PortableApps folder of the USB drive. RoboForm2Go only installs and executes in the root directory of the USB drive. I tried using the fantastic little _GetFileDrive function, but I keep getting an error indicating it's trying to run the file in the subdirectory so obviously I'm not using _GetFileDrive right. Any help for a newbie would be appreciated. ; Change the working directory to the root of this file. FileChangeDir(_GetFileDrive(@ScriptDir)) ; Run the PortableRoboForm executable.

I want to know that is there any way to detect an USB device when it gets plugged into the system and call some function connected to that event? I was able to do this using C#, there is a class available, but I am wondering if the same can be done with autoIT by any chance. Thank You

Hi, I'm trying to develope a program to safely eject an USB device. I have tried a lot of way but there was no satisfactory result. I used to consult wraithdu's script here : but that script wasn't work on my Win7 machine, then I heard someone talk about Devcon, then I started to explore it, I have scripted, tested for days and get nothing but errors. I used this command : devcon remove @usb\* to remove all removable devices but here the result goes : All failed? I have just plugged on two USB Kingmax and Transcend! I need some professional guys to solve the problem:D Thanks!

Hi all, First of all, not sure whether to post this here or example scripts as although it works it does have a problem This is my first script I have made with AutoIT, its very basic but does some deployment tasks to make my life easier. Script: 2 Questions: 1, Why doesn't this part work? If the Computer has a floppy disk, the script still tries to read it even though I have specified no A:\ When it tries to read A:\ the files do not copy from the usb stick & then the script continues to add users to admins. ; Locate USB Drive & assigned drive letter, then copy files. $var = DriveGetDrive( "removable" ) If NOT @error Then For $i = 1 to $var[0] If $var[$i] = "a:" Then ContinueLoop $usbdrive = $var[$i] 2, Can you suggest any improvements to the code, as I've said this is my first one and I've never tried scripting before.

I'm running Windows 7. I have an autorun.inf file on a removable drive that looks like this: [autorun] label=My Drive Label When I plug in that USB drive and open Windows Explorer, I see that drive properly labeled. It says "My Drive Label (G:)" next to the drive icon. However, I can't figure out how to read that label (without reading the ini file, of course). If I use DriveGetLabel("G:"), it returns the string that is stored when you right-click the drive and select properties and type in a label. I can't figure out how to make it return the label that is displayed in Windows Explorer. Any ideas?

I have searched the forum and really can't find what I'm looking for. I would like to find a script that can scan a computer and find devices plugged into a USB port that DOESN'T have a drive letter. I can detect devices that have a drive letter without a problem, but what I'm looking for are devices that don't produce a drive letter but show up as say an "Audio Device". Some personal audio devices show up as a device of this type and they are not assigned a drive letter. This is what I want to find. A flatbed scanner would show up as an imaging device. Any help would be appreciated.

Note: This is completely unrelated to the program offered on TuCows and CNET, I named it without ever checking the title, and I may decide to change it at will. What Does it do? This program allows you to require a specific drive (USB preferably) to be connected to the computer to gain access while the program is running. Downloads: USBLock.zip (Includes Source code, Compiled version, and English .LANG file) UPDATES: (click "see post" to see notes on changes) Version 6: see post Version 5: see post Version 4: see post Version 3: see post Version 2: see post ----------------------------------- -How does it do it? 1a. On a normal run, the program will ask you for a drive letter to assign as a "Key Drive". 1b. A drive letter is assigned by command-line parameter. 1c. The "auto" parameter is used, and we skip to Step 4. 2. The Program will then generate a random keyfile, save a hash of the keyfile locally and save the actual keyfile on the root of the chosen/validated drive. 3. Waits until the keydrive is removed. 4. BlockInput is called 5. Then the program then checks repeatedly for the existence of the keyfile on all drives 6. The keyfile is validated, if it is valid, BlockInput is released and we return tp Step 2. 7. Assuming the keyfile is invalid, it is deleted and we return to step 5. Note: There is a special keyfile that can be saved on a drive that will shut down the program to allow emergency access. (if you edit the emergency text in the script, you will need to edit your own emergency keyfile) USBLock_Emergency_Keyfile.zip Requirements: WindowsConstants.au3 GUIConstants.au3 StaticConstants.au3 String.au3 Misc.au3 myToast.au3 - by me (given) MD5.au3 - which is either by: - Ward (Using CallWindowProc; I suggest this one.) - Frez Systems Ltd and SvenP (all AutoIt) - Other Credits: Monitor On/Off Example - MrCreatoR MD5 - SvenP or Ward ... let me know if you were missed for credit.
