Getting

Currently you have to build the HID-IO daemon yourself. But it will be made available in binary form once we are ready for a public beta.

Usage

hid-io
hid-io --help

RPC Terminal Example

First start hid-io-core in one terminal:

Then in another terminal window, start the RPC example program. This will connect you to the device serial port. Once it's connected, you may begin typing commands.
