This project was created to port popular library, that helps to interact with HID devices - hidapi (C language) https://github.com/signal11/hidapi
The main goal of project is to make library that adapted to C#
Here is example showing how to print information about connected HID devices
//trying to find devices with any vendor_id, product_id
var devices = HidDeviceManager.GetManager().SearchDevices(0, 0);
if(devices.Any())
{
foreach(var device in devices)
{
device.Connect();
Console.WriteLine(
$"device: {device.Path()}\n" +
$"manufacturer: {device.Manufacturer()}\n" +
$"product: {device.Product()}\n" +
$"serial number: {device.SerialNumber()}\n");
device.Disconnect();
}
}
To get devices use SearchDevices static method of HidDeviceManager class.
HidDeviceManager.GetManager().SearchDevices(0, 0);
SearchDevices will return a set of founded devices (HidDevice)
To interact with devices use methods Read\Write. Here example
...
m_ReadResult = m_Device.Read(m_Buffer, m_Buffer.Length);
if (m_ReadResult == -1)
throw new HardwareConnectionException("Cannot read data from device");
...
Install-Package HidApiAdapter
If you getting DllNotFoundException: ... DLL "hidapi32"
Change properties of installed dlls - hidapi32.dll hidapi64.dll like on screenshot
