Device interaction

[Nubcake]

Hi

Been wondering for a while now about this ; how can I interact with the devices connected to my computer? I.e Getting the device name or anything related to it.

Thanks

Hi,

The documentation shows how you can iterate with screen, speakers, printer, keyboard and mouse. I think there is something about webcams you can find if you search the forum, as well about USB.

Good Luck

The problem is that a forum search for "usb" does not return anything, even though there are posts about USB (I know, because I wrote two of them). It seems like the forum does not accept search terms with only three characters, but it does not inform users about this limitation. This should be changed in my opinion.

Search for usb* instead and you'll get 106 hits. The search function says to use * for partial matches.

Or use Google for your search terms with "purebasic forum" added to the end, like this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=usb+"purebasic+forum"

If you use Google or duck duck go, this works:
Usb hid site:purebasic.fr/English/
That's how I found the link in your other thread, when the forum search failed.

Barry, I like searching with "site" rather than including "purebasic forum" because with something as obscure as pb you seem to always get too many bad results without the site restriction.
