USB hacking

Hibernate · 2011-07-12 20:04:33

I have two USB devices. One of them is a host, and the other is a client.
Normally the client is directly connected into the host, but I want have
the client and the host into my computer.
Now I want to read the data send from both devices and them forward
the data to the corresponding device.

So instead of the connection:
host <−−−−> client

I have:
host <−−−−− computer (proxy) −−−−−> client.

How do I read and send raw USB transmission?
Preferably I want to do this only using device files, so it is language independent.

Ex animo!

you need a logic analyzer for this.

there exists software that taps into the usb stack, but it works when a client is communicating with a computer only.

Thanks, but I just found what i needed.
I just needed to read the client, although it would have been nice to reader the server for extra functionally.

I tried to make use of the entire PS3 sixaxis control (since they killed Other OS on the classical PS3, way not make use of the controllers at least)
and not just parts of it. I also found out that all buttons accept select, start, L3, R3 and the PS-logo button has pressure sensors.

Now it would be nice if a could get the LEDs to stop blinking.

Did you look at how http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32351 does this stuff?

Humm, I did not find that packages, maybe I should have looked in the AUR.

Check out AsbestOS.

And I will still be able to play my games (just in case I would want to), unlike with other hacks I've found?
