Those buttons are rated for 1,000,000 cycles and can really take a beating.<BR/><BR/>Piano players, drummers, drivers, pilots -- lots of folks use their feet for less precise work that can't be done with just two hands - why not computers?<BR/><BR/>Now to find something that is a pain to do with Eclipse that I do all the time. That's the hard part.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672873279339006520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34385728.post-42239948781147054282009-01-11T01:25:00.000-08:002009-01-11T01:25:00.000-08:00Here's a how-to write driver in Java for USB pedal...Here's a <A HREF="http://www.jinvoke.com/USB-hardware-access-from-Java" REL="nofollow">how-to</A> write driver in Java for USB pedal.
