The WMR100/200 use a proprietary protocol for their USB connection.
It's very useful for enthusiasts running a headless Linux box to collect and analyze data from this link, but unfortunately the protocol isn't openly documented, nor are clients provided for this platform.
This simple C program handles the USB protocol of the WMR100, and translates to a JSON format, easy for parsing/analysing.
You can output to:
- stdout
- a file
- a zeromq socket
You'll need to setup the udev rules (see udev/README) if you want to run this not as root. This is due to how libhid accesses the USB ports.
Packages:
- libhid-dev
- pkg-config
- libusb-dev
- libzmq-dev
Run 'make'.
To install, copy wmr100 to your path.
One time install for osx
To keep the default HIDManager from taking the wmr100, run this once:
make setup_osx
If you want to use different software to read the wmr100 device, you should undo
this by running make unsetup_osx and then reboot so that the HIDManager will
take control of the device again.
To install on raspberry pi use this script:
https://github.com/think-free/pi-scripts/raw/master/InstallWmr100OnPi.sh
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
# libzmq-dev
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/think-free/pi-packages/raw/master/libhid-0.2.16-rpi.tar.gz
tar xvf libhid-0.2.16-rpi.tar.gz
cd libhid-0.2.16
# ./configure --prefix=/
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ..
# git clone https://github.com/barnybug/wmr100.git
cd wmr100
make
gcc wmr100.c -l hid
apt-get install fping
# /etc/crontab
#
# */20 * * * * root fping -q 8.8.8.8 || /sbin/reboot
#
#.
Run: ./wmr100
This will dump data to stdout. Each data lines begins with '*'.
