USB Launcher project is a couple of basic programs to drive the M&S USB Missile Launcher.
ctlmissile does all the actual work. You'll need libusb installed to compile it, but assuming you have that typing "make" should do the trick. You can then
do:
ctlmissile up
ctlmissile down
ctlmissile left
ctlmissile right
ctlmissile fire
ctlmissile stop
to do all the things you'd expect. Note you'll need to be root to use it. I
haven't figured out a nice way to use libusb yet as a user. Anyone got some pointers?
Oh, and you'll need to not have usbhid installed or it'll claim the device itself (I think I can add support so that it gets automatically disconnected from the device, so I'll have a look at that).
usblauncher is a Perl program that uses GTK2 to provide a basic interface for controlling the launcher. It uses ctlmissile. Currently I've made ctlmissile suid root so I can run usblauncher as my normal user id, but I'm not sure about this long term.
What's New in This Release:
· Added support for Dream Cheeky USB missile launcher from James Puderer.
