Subject: USB/ASYN/EPICS example (usbMouse support)
From: Eric Norum <[email protected]>

A few weeks ago Miroslav Mihaylov at the University of Chicago posted a Tech-Talk message requesting suggestions for adding a simple hardware switch to an EPICS soft IOC. I suggested using a USB mouse with the switch wired across one of the buttons.   As a proof of principle I created a small driver to show how the libusb routines could be used with ASYN to read values from a USB mouse.

The (very preliminary) code is at: http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/instrument/usbMouse/

I hope that this is useful and can serve as a starting point for creating EPICS support for other USB devices.
