[PD] [hid] - question

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

If the linux input event scheme supports RS232/USB adapters, but I am  
pretty sure it does not.  The problem is mapping the data to input  
events.

I am working with Tom Igoe of ITP/NYU to try to figure out ways of  
incorporating microcontrollers into the [hid] framework.  We have  
discussed a few ideas, now its time for some coding to see what  
works...
