I would like to read the signal from a USB keyboard that is attached to my MacBook Pro. I am using PyCharm to write my script and I installed pyusb and libusb for the backend. Really, I am at the very beginning so please excuse my little knowledge. The problems I am faced with is that I do [Errno 13] permission error when running the script in PyCharm or when saving it and running it with PyLauncher I get a "No backend available error".
The final aim of this project is to control the vlc-media player using the vlc module based on the input of a usb device.
The current code:
import usb
import libusb_package
backend = libusb_package.get_libusb1_backend()
# find device
keyboard = usb.core.find(idVendor=0x046d, idProduct=0xc318, backend = backend)
if keyboard is None:
raise ValueError('ADU Device not found. Please ensure it is connected.')
sys.exit(1)
usb.util.claim_interface(keyboard, 0)
I would really appreciate any hints or suggestions what packages to use, which tutorials to read for usb devices and python and how to improve in this project.
Thank you very much!
All the best,
ie
