I am working on a senior project for college and will be designing my own software put it has have an input from an external piece of hardware (RFID reader). The external hardware plugs in via usb port. I tried to search the web on this topic but couldn't find anything that helped me.
If anyone could help with reading materials or advice I would greatly appreciate it.
The library you would need to use to access all of the data might be private to the company that made the hardware, in which case you're screwed. Otherwise you'd have to work a lot with your computers drivers, and I'm not really sure what to recommend there. You should probably move this to the General C++ Programming forum, so people smarter than me can help you :)
