PureBasic 6.30 beta 3 is ready !

[Fred]

Did you run it as root ? You need admin right on Linux or you need an hid.rules file as described here: https://github.com/libusb/hidapi?tab=readme-ov-file

Running compiler as sudo fixed it and all working now!
Thanks for the links also, will go and have a read.

I think it's great that there's now an HID library in PB.
Thank you very much for that!
Is there any documentation for the commands somewhere?

thanks for this

Thank you Fred!

Talking about the 3D side of things...

Why not add other shadowing modes to the current ones? I'm pretty sure the texture shadow got some updates. It would be super awesome.

How to use hidraw backend instead of libusb? This is what is written on Github.

On Linux, either the hidraw or the libusb back-end can be used. There are tradeoffs, and the functionality supported is slightly different. Both are built by default. It is up to the application linking to hidapi to choose the backend at link time by linking to either libhidapi-libusb or libhidapi-hidraw.

Hello Fred,

do you use the libusb functions libusb_detach_kernel_driver and libusb_attach_kernel_driver when opening and closing a device in the HID library under Linux?

With Rasbperry Pi OS (P400), I can no longer access a low-speed device (Brymen BC-86X adapter) when libusb_attach_kernel_driver is used when closing the device. There are no problems with a full-speed device (Brymen BC-86P adapter).

I checked this with my own HID/libusb code. I have no problems with the LowSpeed device on normal PCs running Linux.

Could you perhaps add a parameter to ‘CloseHID()’ for attach kernel drivers?

2025-10-06: beta 3 is out, with one big new library: ScreenGadget, thanks to pf-shadoko ! It's also the first official library 100% written in PureBasic. The Window3D and Gadget3D lib based on CEGUI will be deprecated. The examples for the new lib can be found in the Examples/Sources/ScreenGadget.pb and Examples/3D/ScreenGadgetMultipleWindow.pb files. Don't hesitate to send your feedback as the lib is very new. There is also the usual bug fixes:

Code: Select all

Exciting news! Can't wait to test the screen gadget with my new project.

[Caronte3D]

The new ScreenGadget library is brilliant!
Thanks to pf-shadoko and the PureBasic Team!

[pjay]

Thanks for the updates - The new ScreenGadget library looks like it could be a great new edition, very cool

[threedslider]

Yeah ! That is awesome on adding for features, Thanks !
