HID device on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3

[xlr-8]

Hello,

I am currently testing the Emokit on OS X 10.7.3,
However the problem is that no hid devices (named /dev/hidraw5 or else) is listed in the /dev directory.

The following command gives no result:
$ ls -l /dev | grep -i raw
$

I tried to figured it out why, ran an hidapi (https://github.com/signal11/hidapi/downloads) to see what it detects and apparently it detect the usb device, as you can see:

Device Found
type: 1234 ed02
path: USB_1234_ed02_0x7f9c985020e0
serial_number: SN20110525001425
Manufacturer: Emotiv Systems Pty Ltd
Product: Receiver Dongle L01
Release: 3
Interface: -1

But I cannot manage to access it, I have no clue of its path... And without it, I cannot obviously read the raw data from the device.

Finally here is the output of the render.py script:

$ ./render.py
No psyco. Expect poor performance.
Fine, connected to the Emotiv EPOC receiver
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 530, in __bootstrap_inner

self.hidraw = open("/dev/hidraw5")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/hidraw5'

Fun fact: So far, I understand that the "setupPosix" function in emotiv.py always return True (no matter if the device has been found or not), which makes the script display: "Fine, connected to the Emotiv EPOC receiver" :D

Note: I have pyusb (1.0.0a2) and libusb (1.0) installed on my machine.

Please let me know, if I forgot to mention any other important information.

Thank you,

The python module doesn't work on OS X, period. hidraw is a linux construct, and as far as I remember I never wrote a pyusb based python module. You're stuck with the C version of the moment. I'll try to update the readme to reflect this soon.

Alright, thanks for the quick answer!
I'll give a try on Linux then ;)
