Installation :

Build dependencies :

  • git
  • g++

Dependencies :

  • hidapi or libusb

hidapi vs libusb :

hidapi is the new implementation but need to be tested.
hidapi is very more speed than libusb (~20ms vs ~150ms).
hidapi seem not work on CentOS, writing on hidraw is not allowed.
hidapi is recommended but if you encounter problem on your system, switch to libusb.
