[libhid-discuss] HID_Interrupt_write reports OK, but no action on device..

[Neil Sutton]

Hi Charles,

Thanks for the clarification, that now makes a little more sense to me.
I tried the output path suggested but even though it reported sent ok
nothing happened.

I've been tinkering some more and thought I'd give the interrupt write
another go and it's now working :)
I think I must have had the packet length wrong the first time I tried it as
I've haven't really altered much else!

Thanks very much for your assistance in getting this going.. I'm so pleased
I finally got there ! :)

Kind Regards
Neil
