HidCom

Easy Linux command line tool to communicate with USB/HID devices

I use it often for debugging with USB/HID. You can also use it to speak with USB/HID via bash scripts.

Build

build with

gcc hidcom.c -o hidcom

Use

hidCom [options] [path of USB-Device] [data]
options:
-h, --help help
-c, --control use control transfer [no]
-d, --delay read delay (ms) [0]
-f, --feature use feature report [no]
-i, --info device info [no]
-I, --increment increment byte 6 every transfer [no]
-n, --serial serial number
--path device path [/dev/usb/hiddev0]
-p, --pid Product ID (HEX) [0]
-q, --quiet print response only [no]
-r, --repeat repeat N times [1]
-s, --size report size [64]
-S, --String get String N
-v, --vid Vendor ID (HEX) [0]

Select device by path or vid and pid. If not given, the /dev/usb/hiddev0 is used as default

Example

HidCom -i 1 2 3 4
