Also GridFlow (0.7.6: CVS) now includes a generic USB control library for
Ruby, and a very short ruby script that adds a PD/jMax/etc object class
for Delcom/Cypress CY7C63001 USB controllers and such. I've tested it by
controlling leds and a motor using GridFlow/PD/MacOSX on an iBook. (I also
made some tests on a Linux-PC).

We (Artengine) plan on eventually using that for real, by adding other
chips next to the USB controller chip.
