I have a cheap infrared sensor, with an USB connection. This is the first time I'm connecting external stuff to max other than midi, and can't get it working. I was hoping that it would show up for the hi object, but it shows no devices. I searched through the forum and could not find much of a relevant information.

I want to map simple remote controls to max.

Let me put it in this way: Do I have to use a USB to Serial adapter?

The hi object only reads HID USB objects. If your USB device isn't

The hi object only reads HID USB objects. If your USB device isn't
HID, then hi won't work for you.

Thanks, but the manual says that Serial object does not support USB devices. Am I missing something there?

It also does not work with serial object, as I tried.

So there isn't any way to make a generic usb infrared sensor talk to max?

What do you mean by "generic"? A brand name or part # would make it

Generic might not be the correct word for it ok. But the device looks so simple so I could not resist, sorry. :)

It's driver(windows device manager) says It's a Kingsun SF-620 though...

I think I do not know the standards behind these well, I was thinking that there exists a generic USB input object that outputs some kind of raw data for me so I could figure out what the heck this device is sending to reflect my actions(i.e. sending commands from a remote controller). Then I could parse that data and use the useful bits.
