I’m very discouraged right now. I tried to get my USB Missile Launcher drivers working all weekend, and I haven’t had any luck. I’ve easily spent 24 hours working on this with absolutely no progress. I’ve tried creating my own native drivers using the Windows Driver Kit. I’ve tried using libusb under both windows and linux. I’ve tried two or three different drivers under linux, and none of them are able to detach my kernel drivers. I tried changing the permissions. I’ve tried using python extensions. I’m completely at wits end. At some point I have to move on to more productive things, I just hate being beaten by a computer… but I’ve read every resource available, done everything by the book, and I can’t do anything. I even took the damn thing apart, found the chipset, and looked on the manufacturers website for development libraries!
I just don’t understand why USB communication is so difficult, I mean hundreds of thousands of USB devices are on the market. Am I really just this stupid? I admit my defeat. Maybe I’ll swap in my own PIC chip and my own firmware so that I can have full control of what’s going on in there.
I feel so disgusted. No links today because I’m pretty peeved.
