+1 thank you, a really cool project!
My comparison AFAICT (from working on [hid] a little [1]):
[hidraw]
* is more cross-platform, including Windows
* has a way more modern code base and build system
* offers less "semantic" output -- in the sense that [hidraw] gives you
event codes that you process in your patch yourself, whereas [hid]
decodes many of the possible button presses and other events
* uses an external library, libusb/hidabi, for its functions -- [hid]
only uses OS functions and headers iirc
Maybe we should prepare a wiki page or other documentation item at some
point listing the different possibilities of working with USB HID
devices in Pd.
Best,
Albert.
