What is BlinkStick? Check it out here:

Requirements

[sudo] gem install color
[sudo] gem install libusb

Note: Please refer to larskanis/libusb documentation on how to install the gem on various platforms.

Description of files:

Running examples:

ruby example-info.rb

If the script returns with an error

LIBUSB::ERROR_ACCESS in libusb_open

You can either run the script with sudo, for example:

sudo ruby example-info.rb

Or you can add a udev rule to allow any user to access the device without root permissions with this single command:

echo "SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ATTR{idVendor}==\"20a0\", ATTR{idProduct}==\"41e5\", MODE:=\"0666\"" | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/85-blinkstick.rules

Reboot computer after you have added the command and all users will have permissions to access the device without the need of root permissions.
