NOTE: Support is VERY limited for this library. It is almost impossible to troubleshoot issues with so many devices and configurations. The community may be able to offer some assistance but you will largely be on your own. If you submit an issue, please include a relevant code snippet and details about your operating system, .NET version and device. Pull requests are welcome and appreciated.

Resources
------------

If your interested in HID development here are a few invaluable resources:

1. [Jan Axelson's USB Hid Programming Page](http://janaxelson.com/hidpage.htm) - Excellent resource for USB Hid development. Full code samples in a number of different languages demonstrate how to use the Windows setup and Hid API.
2. [Jan Axelson's book 'USB Complete'](http://janaxelson.com/usbc.htm) - Jan Axelson's guide to USB programming. Very good covereage of Hid. Must read for anyone new to Hid programming.
