Hi!

I’ve registered [HidApi.jl](https://github.com/laborg/HidApi.jl). It allows easy interaction with devices that implement the [USB human interface device class](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_human_interface_device_class) and should work on all platforms _without any further installation_ (though Linux might require an udev rule per device).

My use case is to configure and automatically run test scripts for a device I’m working with.

Have fun,  
Gerhard

I think you’ve mixed up the order in the link to the github page. 🤔

Thanks for this, @laborg! I think we’ll have use for this in a lab setting.
