Go library for Coldtears Electronics LCD Sys Info device (http://coldtearselectronics.wikispaces.com/)
This is a very straight rewrite of the C# LCDSysInfo library. Code could definitely be improved.
I have not testing this on linux, but it should work following instructions from https://github.com/kylelemons/gousb.
This library uses libusb-1.0.
Follow the driver instructions from http://www.libusb.org/wiki/windows_backend. You want to install the WinUSB driver (I tested with v6.1.7600.16385) with Zadig (I tested with v2.0.1 Build 162) to your LCDSysInfo device.
Here are roughly the steps I took to compile for windows:
git clone git://git.libusb.org/libusb.git- Ensure you have MinGW64 with MSYS. You can get it at: http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download
- Open MSYS for MinGW64 (open MinGW/msys/1.0/msys.bat)
- CD to your libusb directory (e.g. cd /c/dev/libusb)
sh autogen.sh- At this point, autogen.sh will configure libusb with debugging forced on. To disable it, run ./configure --disable-debug-log (RECOMMENDED)
make- Now you will have a libusb directory that has the header files and libraries in libusb/.libs
go get https://github.com/kylelemons/gousb- You will get an error saying it won't build.
- Find where the gousb library installed, and cd to
github.com/kylelemons/gousb/usb - Edit usb.go and make sure you have the following before
import "C"
// #cgo LDFLAGS: -LC:/dev/libusb/libusb/.libs -lusb-1.0
// #cgo CFLAGS: -IC:/dev/libusb/libusb/
// #include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h>
go install github.com/kylelemons/gousb/usb- If this fails, make sure you have all your paths correct.
- You should now be able to install golcdsysinfo and run the examples.
