Hi

I did not find anything the documentation about support for USB. How have people used PB for working with USB?

When searching, try a term longer than 3 letters (i.e. "device") then search those results for USB. You could then search the results with any additional terms you need.

There have been several methods discussed in the forums, some involving COMate.

I also agree it is hard to find and would welcome a native USBPort Library

Hi,

small addition to Demivecs tip: searching a three-lettered word could be (halfway) achieved by adding an asterix '*'. In case of USB* you'd get a lot of results

Alternatively if your browser supports OpenSearch then just use the forum search plugin http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 27&t=42061

Not to throw the discussion further off the topic but when I search i use google site:forums.purebasic.com [whatever].

Wish I had something to add that was more on topic, but good luck.

A 'USB port' isn't like a COM port. I think that you must either interface with each device (device driver) that use USB, or if you are thinking of an USB hosted serial port device, then access it as it was a COM port after the driver is installed.

USB port <> COM (serial) port.
