I have a usb remote wonder and would like to catch button presses from it but do not have a clue how todo this can any one give me some hints.

Is there a way to capture raw data from usb like you can with the serial port ?

any libraries available just need a starting point really if its possible basically i hate the default software that comes with the remote because it is not flexible enough.

Google for snoopusb (or usbsnoop) and libusb (or usblib). Tried to write PB prog to capture cam data direct sometime ago but PB prog crashed, difficult to determine why so abandoned. Let us all know if you have any better luck.

Thanks for that info, and will let you knwo if i get anything working had a quick look at library and uses unsigned values a lot making it a bit harder to work with :p

could be nice if someone made a "parser" or something like a wrapper in PB for making the use of the lib, easyer in PB..
