I have 2 usb devices that are connecting to my computer, I need to take the data input from 1 port and output it to the other port, and vice verse. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 as OS. I tried to use jpnevulator but I can't figure it out.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
I give a detailed overview of these kind of problems in this answer to a related question.
I would suggest you use libusbx to read data from one usb and write that to the other. Basically what happens is that you enumerate all the devices, discover the correct HID descriptors, and plug those into a libusbx interface to read/write. It really is this simple. As far as details, you should be able to look up each of what I just said - they are solid/correct keywords as far as I'm aware. You can also visit the post above for some more resources. For instance, there is at least one solid example on that page at the very bottom. Hopefully this helps get you started!

So I've tried to tackle this problem for the last couple of weeks but come to a bit of a standstill. I'm trying to registering an RTSP stream from an IP address as a virtual webcam for use in another application (could be skype or similar). What I need is for my computer to add a virtual webcam to its device list. This should preferably be done through a C# script as devices could be added dynamically through a .NET program.
I have found similar questions on StackOverflow, but many of these are outdated, use Linux, or receives another stream format/protocol.
My approach so far has been using DirectShow filters and so far that has worked to a degree. Using Graphedit I can see my incoming stream by using an RTSP source filter. However, there are some problems:
The source filter was a trial, the full version is paid and pretty expensive
I have no experience with DirectShow filter programming
I only showed the stream through GraphEdit, there was no virtual driver registered so e.g Skype couldn't use the stream
So I guess my question boils down to:
Is my approach with DirectShow the only way to acheive what I'd like?
Is a filter the correct approach to use if Windows should list the stream as a webcam device?
Is vcam still the best example to look at to implement something like this?
Does any one know of similar, open source programs that acheive what I describe?
Anyway, I appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks.
The diagram below explains the applicability of virtual cameras:
You are trying to somehow mount a lower green or blue box so that it reads data from RTSP.
Note that more and more applications like new Skype are Media Foundation based (top right box on the diagram) and your filter based source is less and less applicable.
Creating a virtual camera which is recognized by various software assumes you are supplying a driver (red box). Even though such packages exist, I am not aware of any open source or even free which let you quickly start on this route.
DirectShow filter based sources (and you are yet to implement RTSP client there) will only be see by DirectShow based applications of the same bitness.
I have developed a simple software using VB.net, now i want to receive some data from an external device, i want to know if any way to learn "**How to read a hardware transmitted data using VB.net, where hardware is attached to a USB port?**" Any specific book or any way to get this thing learn.
Looking forward to hear from you all.
Thanks & Regards.
I think you should not duplicate the question:-
Still i was searching and found the answer from the following link, so again posting it here so that people should not search more for this. Thabnks
How to get the data from a USB port in VB.NET
Here is what I found. You use the HID.dll to interface the usb ports. And you know the best part? I found some examples.
Here's a link that contains basic examples and tutorial for usb interfacing. The HID Page

I am working on one application where i need to display notification for the devices in the bluetooth range. I surfed a lot also searched in the stack overflow,but got most of the questions unanswered or the solution to use pacifist,which is quite impossible for me,as i cant download old version of xcode,its not allowed in my organization.
So can anybody help me out with some sort of example code or something that i can use in my application and proceed further?
Thanking you.

Is this for the Mac or for iOS? If it's the latter, I'm sorry to report that after having researched the heck out of it, there's no App-Store-safe way to access the Bluetooth stack. That leaves no way to detect nearby devices except through Gamekit, which is very limited.
[Edit: note that this is old information, and that much more is available now.]
Try Bonjour for zero-configuration networking/detection between devices. It silently switches between Bluetooth and WiFi but it may still suit your needs.
Can anyone please suggest a small PIC board which has a web server built into it and can be programmed to handle ftp connections?
Some members of the PIC32 family, such as the PIC32MX675F256H and PIC32MX795F512L include an integrated Ethernet interface. An evaluation board for the PIC32MX795 is available: DM320004 (see picture below).
You can also add an Ethernet controller and use Microchip's free TCP/IP stack with their PIC18, PIC24, dsPIC and PIC32 families.
I would suggest http://www.modtronix.com/. They have a number of expandable PIC boards including Ethernet/web-server.
I know this is an old post, but I stumbled onto it, maybe others will. One pretty cool project is the UConTroll. It's a PIC24 based WiFi product that has a Web interface. More info here.
I am using an Olimex sam7s256 board. I tried to get it up and running in linux (Ubuntu). I was able to successfully install GCC and binutils. I installed SAM-BA for linux from the atmel site. I was able to get the USB port for connection as specified in the SAM-BA manual (.dev/ttyUSB0).
But when I try to use the GUI and 'connect' there is no response.
I though that there is a connection failure, so when I presses the reset button in the board, I get a message "Failed to initialize FLASH accesses".
No matter how long I wait before pressing the reset button, I am not getting any SAM-BA window as given by other tutorials as below
can any one one help me out in this?
I did the 'tst' jumper set, reconnect the board for 10 s, disconnect and 'tst' jumper reset, reconnect before opening SAM-BA.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am stuck.
It is the same for both SAM-BA 2.9 and 2.8.
By this point you are already connected. If you specified the at91sam7256-ek even if you arent using that board it will not put this gui up if it didnt talk to the chip/board. I recently went through this exercise with an olimex sam7s-256 header board. (with ubuntu linux). If I didnt specify the board type then the window came up but it wasnt really connected.
Notice how the code at 0x00200000 is valid instructions (most start with a 0xE and the vector table starts with a bunch of 0xEAs which are branches out of the vector table) that is ram it didnt make those up it read that from somewhere. Load a binary file into ram in the 0x00200000 range and the refresh the memory (assuming your binary is different from what is there) and see it change.
When ready/comfortable you can erase the flash and see in the memory window that the flash (0x0010000 or something like that) changes to all 0xFFFFFFFFs. Now remember it wont boot when you do that. With the board I have there is a jumper you move then power the board to get the built in bootloader re-loaded into the flash so that you can use sam-ba again, I am sure there is a way to do that with your board but read the users guide first.
Please do not close this person out for asking about using a software tool. There are countless numbers of how do I use my iphone simulator or why is my android simulator slower than my iphone simulator questions that dont get touched. this question is as relevant as any of the programming questions about how to use gcc or some web thing or how to start up my phone simulator or java vm. I wouldnt want to have to start a campaign to close all of the gcc or iphone tagged questions because they are not programming questions.
I think my question was misunderstood. The GUI window which I have posted is NOT what I get. I just posted it to say that I am not getting such a window at all. That window pops up only when I select 'no board'. When I select SAM7S256-EK there is no response. No window opens. As given in your blog sam7stuff.blogspot.com, I downloaded SAM-BA. The onlydifference as u have posted and in the response also id that u are using a 'h' board.
Right now I am using a custom made SAMBA alternative from this website,
http://claymore.engineer.gvsu.edu/~steriana/Software/
It is also a python based boot loader. It is command line though.
I would love to use the SAM-BA GUI. I am sure that the board is OK and samba is communicating with the board b'cos if I select any other board type other than ARM7S256-EK option it is giving me 'communication failure'.
If you have any suggestions please do let me know. Also many thanks for backing me up. I had some real good insights from this forum about embedded field and I felt it is a good place to discuss embedded programming doubts and never thought of 'programming' or 'non-programming' b'cos for SAM-BA user guide itself talks a lot about customizing the SAM-BA for a custom made board involving TCL scripts but I couldnot get hold of the concepts. So I thought someone would have had the same problem and would have found a TCL or C 'programming' solutions in this forum.
Thank you.
