Hi, I have been playing arround with libusb0-win32 and was/am attempting to make the starts of a udf library as I haven't found one and it would come in handy for my current project.

I am having trouble figuring out how I would convert this code:

http://libusb.sourceforge.net/doc/examples-code.html

more notably this section

struct usb_bus *bus; int c, i, a; /* ... */ for (bus = busses; bus; bus = bus->next) { struct usb_device *dev; for (dev = bus->devices; dev; dev = dev->next) {

to work with autoit.

At the moment I have this code:

libusb0.au3

#cs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoIt Version: 3.3.4.0 Author:    Craig Gilhooley Script Function:    libusb0 Functions. #ce ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Script Start $libusb0 = DllOpen("libusb0.DLL") Func usb_init()    DllCall ($libusb0, "none", "usb_init") EndFunc Func usb_find_busses()   $retval = DllCall ($libusb0, "int", "usb_find_busses")  Return $retval EndFunc Func usb_find_devices()  $retval = DllCall ($libusb0, "int", "usb_find_devices")     Return $retval EndFunc Func usb_get_busses()    $retval = DllCall ($libusb0, "ptr", "usb_get_busses")   Return $retval EndFunc Func usb_open($devicePointer)    $retval = DllCall ($libusb0, "int", "usb_open", "ptr", $devicePointer)  Return $retval EndFunc Func usb_close($devicePointer)   $retval = DllCall ($libusb0, "int", "usb_close", "ptr", $devicePointer)     Return $retval EndFunc

libusb test.au3

#cs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoIt Version: 3.3.4.0 Author:    Craig Gilhooley Script Function:    libusb0 test. #ce ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; Script Start #include <Array.au3> #include "libusb0.au3" usb_init() usb_find_busses() usb_find_devices() $busses = usb_get_busses() $bus = DllStructCreate("ptr;ptr;char[512];ptr;ULONG;ptr;", $busses[0]) MsgBox(0, "Busses Pointer", $busses[0]) $next = DllStructGetPtr($bus, 1) MsgBox(0, "Next Pointer", $next) $previous = DllStructGetPtr($bus, 2) MsgBox(0, "Previous Pointer", $previous) $path = DllStructGetData($bus, 3) MsgBox(0, "Path", $path) $devices = DllStructGetPtr($bus, 4) MsgBox(0, "Devices Pointer", $devices) $location = DllStructGetData($bus, 5) MsgBox(0, "Location", $location) $root_dev = DllStructGetPtr($bus, 6) MsgBox(0, "Root Device Pointer", $root_dev) $dev = $devices MsgBox(0, "Device Pointer", $dev) $dev_handle = usb_open($dev) MsgBox(0, "Device Handle", $dev_handle) $closed = usb_close($dev) MsgBox(0, "Device Closed", $closed) ;_ArrayDisplay($busses)

As I am testing it but I cant seem to get the usb_open to work and I dont have a clue how to convert the code I showed at the top of the post.

I have found relevant documentation here:

http://libusb.sourceforge.net/doc/

And I got the information about the structure of the STRUCT's from libusb.h, I beleive that the more relevant ones are:

struct usb_device { struct usb_device *next, *prev; char filename[LIBUSB_PATH_MAX]; struct usb_bus *bus; struct usb_device_descriptor descriptor; struct usb_config_descriptor *config; void *dev;      /* Darwin support */ unsigned char devnum; unsigned char num_children; struct usb_device **children; }; struct usb_bus { struct usb_bus *next, *prev; char dirname[LIBUSB_PATH_MAX]; struct usb_device *devices; unsigned long location; struct usb_device *root_dev; };

Here is a link to the DLL:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-w...in32-device-bin-0.1.12.2.tar.gz/download

And a link to the src (libusb.h):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-w...ibusb-win32-src-0.1.12.2.tar.gz/download

Any help or information towards my goal is appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig.

Hi, sorry I didn't pick up on this earlier, I went away to try and fix it on my own and did not realise the readability issues and since got distracted.

I currently have the functions for initialising the lib and finding the busses and devices sorted (hopefully) they seem to function as described.

To put my original problem in a different way, there is a simple example provided for the lib in C which I was attempting to convert but hit a road block when it came to the for loop.

Here is the example in C:

http://libusb.sourceforge.net/doc/examples-code.html

Here are the relevant structs from the usb.h file:

struct usb_device {
 struct usb_device *next, *prev;

 char filename[LIBUSB_PATH_MAX];

 struct usb_bus *bus;

 struct usb_device_descriptor descriptor;
 struct usb_config_descriptor *config;

 void *dev;     /* Darwin support */

 unsigned char devnum;

 unsigned char num_children;
 struct usb_device **children;
};

struct usb_bus {
 struct usb_bus *next, *prev;

 char dirname[LIBUSB_PATH_MAX];

 struct usb_device *devices;
 unsigned long location;

 struct usb_device *root_dev;
};

Some functions I made for the libusb0.au3:

Func usb_init()
    DllCall($libusb0, "none", "usb_init")
EndFunc ;==>usb_init

Func usb_find_busses()
    $retval = DllCall($libusb0, "int", "usb_find_busses")
    Return $retval
EndFunc ;==>usb_find_busses

Func usb_find_devices()
    $retval = DllCall($libusb0, "int", "usb_find_devices")
    Return $retval
EndFunc ;==>usb_find_devices

My test:

$libusb0 = DllOpen("libusb0.DLL")

#include "libusb0.au3"

usb_init()
usb_find_busses()
usb_find_devices()

Which is all fine and dandy bit it doesn't do anything at the moment, looking at the documentation I am finding it hard to see how I would use the usb_get_busses() function as it seems to return a struct or the data is placed into one by reference somehow.

Again here is the documentation:

http://libusb.sourceforge.net/doc/functions.html

and the usb_get_busses() page:

http://libusb.sourceforge.net/doc/function.usbgetbusses.html

usb_get_busses

Name

usb_get_busses -- Return the list of USB busses found<a name="AEN139">

Description

struct usb_bus *usb_get_busses(void);

usb_get_busses simply returns the value of the global variable usb_busses. This was implemented for those languages that support C calling convention and can use shared libraries, but don't support C global variables (like Delphi).

Some help with this would be appreciated a lot.

Thanks,

Craig.

Anyone got any ideas? I am actively working on this again.

Well determination and lots more research seem to have eventually prospered, I have found that I can use a pointer as the second argument to the DllStructCreate() function.

This gives me this at the moment:

#include <Array.au3>

$libusb0 = DllOpen("libusb0.DLL")

#include "libusb0.au3"

usb_init()
usb_find_busses()
usb_find_devices()

$busses = usb_get_busses()

$usb_bus = DllStructCreate("ptr;ptr;char[512];ptr;ulong;ptr", $busses[0])

MsgBox(0, "ugb", IsDllStruct($usb_bus))
MsgBox(0, "ugb", DllStructGetData($usb_bus, 3))

Which is working fine.

I hope to develop this into a UDF for use in more cases but I believe that I will be able to progress and provide some examples eventually.

Thanks,

Craig.

Hi,

could you please provide the source of your usb_get_busses() function?

And maybe some info how you go on from here?

How to loop through usb DEVICES, OPEN devices, ...?

Thanks!

Hi,

I need help to make a script which recognize PID and VID device and connect this device.

i used libusb0 but i can't find the device connected and other informations.

 

This is my code :

 can you copy and paste it to understand my problem,?..
