Well that libUSB lib looks useful. The only problem is I'm working under a windows OS.
libusb-win32 works on Windows. Again, I haven't tried it.
Alright, thanks for the help guys.
If you are consediring controlling motors, switches , sensors, etc from windows, the simplest way I knows in these days of USB ruling is phidgets interfaces kits Phidgets are great because they support windows, linux, OSX and many programming languages, C#,C/CPP,java, etc. All the supporting libraries are free. An if you want to program it with euphoria, the simplest way it to wrap the C library API.
I presently work on a project using a phidget servo-motor controller and a picaxe 08M2 PIC controller. I work under linux mint, and program in C. Phidgets use standard USB A/B cable and the picaxe use a USB/RS-232 converter.
I don't know libusb but I will check it.
