node-hid 0.7.2

node-hid v0.7.2

on Node.js NPM

In this release:

• Roll-back HID.setDriverType() support for Linux as it broke prebuilds for everyone (see issue #242)
• Linux: default to hidraw driver instead of libusb (so usagePage works on Linux, for crypto keys mainly). See details below

NOTE for Linux users:

• If you have udev rules they will need to be updated. For instance, for blink(1), the udev rules to support both libusb and hidraw would be in the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-blink1.rules and contain:

  SUBSYSTEM=="input", GROUP="input", MODE="0666"
  SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="27b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01ed", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"
  KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="27b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01ed", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
  

  To install the new rules, unplug the HID device and run the command:

  sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
