What is it?

This is a USB HID device. It plugs into a host PC as an input device. The device reports itself as a joystick with X,Y,RX,RY values. The device can be controlled very precisely, and each value van be set between -100 and +100.

Why did you make it?

I wanted fine control of input values for PC applications.

What makes it special?

This device is highly accurate, and it never misses a single click.

When you plug it in, the device shows up in your OS with:

kernel: usb 1-8: new full-speed USB device number 28 using xhci_hcd

kernel: usb 1-8: New USB device found, idVendor=303a, idProduct=4004, bcdDevice= 1.00

kernel: usb 1-8: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

kernel: usb 1-8: Product: TurboLEDz QuadDial

kernel: usb 1-8: Manufacturer: GSAS Inc

kernel: usb 1-8: SerialNumber: 000001

It will work with any OS. Under Linux you can access the data with /dev/rawhidX events or via /dev/input/js0 device.

The device works bi-directionally: The host PC can set the values by sending them over USB. The Host PC can get the values by reading them over USB.
