Great Article! I was wondering if anyone has ever connected (browsed) a digital camera that is connected to a USB Port?

I know software exists that does so, such as Kodak EasyShare, but it can really hog your memory.

It looks like this article will provide help, but any additional help would be appreciated.

Not much of a VB/C programmer, but anyone get this to work for Vista? I have the latest driver info loaded from the vendor that supports vista, but I don't see the the same HID info.

This is very cool. It is something I have wanted to build for a long time. The application for this is very compelling and is as follows. If my PC can recognize my presence it can automatically go to sleep and power-up in such a way as to maximize sleep time and not annoy me with wake-up delays. The idea is that the PC will begin wake-up when I am approaching it and can be fully awake when I sit down to use it. Such a device can decrease the disabling of power management (usually, users do disable power management) and result in much greater energy savings – a truly green PC.

Thoughts on this anyone?

I am looking for any wireless interface with a couple of buttons that has a .NET library. Basically I want it to select from a couple of options to collect data. I want the .NET interface because I want the data collection to be controllable over the internet as well. I think this can be used for other really cool applications like controlling your media applications wirelessly. Thanks for any pointers.

I actually got the computer to "go to sleep" using the code provided on SourceForge. The problem is that I can't get it to wake up from sleep. Since the device doesn't register itself as a mouse or keyboard, the computer doesn't allow for power management to be set on the device.

Any recommendations? Does anyone know how to add drivers to the device?

First of all.... WOW.

I tried this thing a few years ago and after having a few rounds with it's software it was now collecting dust for a year or 2.

Just wondering: I'm trying to adjust the code to accept multiple USB recievers (so not only can i see if i'm around, but also; where in the house) I allready have 3 sticks with different IDs, but dont exactly know which classes I should edit to make the program accept multiple USBsticks at the same time.

If anyone has any suggestion, It'd be great.
