What is hid4java?

An out of the box solution to getting USB Human Interface Device (HID) equipment to "just work" with Java using the Java Native Architecture (JNA) and libusb/hidapi libraries.

The target audience is "hobbyist and commercial developers" familiar with USB.

Why should I use it?

It will allow you to communicate with HID devices across Windows, OS X and Linux with a minimum of fuss:

• fully integrated support for the libusb/hidapi libraries
• pre-compiled libraries provided in the JAR (no fiddling with java.library.path)
• support for Maven and Gradle

Where next?

• Troublshooting - if you're having issues getting your device to work
