The USB Launcher project is a software package consisting of simple programs that operate the M&S USB Missile Launcher.
If you're looking for a software solution to help you drive your M&S USB Missile Launcher, then the USB Launcher project is definitely worth a look. The project consists of two basic programs, with ctlmissile doing all the actual work. By installing libusb, you can easily compile it with a simple "make" command. After that, you're good to go!
Once you have ctlmissile up and running, you can start doing all the things you'd expect. This includes moving the launcher left, right, up, or down, as well as firing or stopping the missiles. However, note that you will need to be root to use the software. Unfortunately, users may encounter some difficulty using libusb, but there are some pointers out there that could help.
It's also important to realize that if you have usbhid installed on your system, then it may claim the device itself. While there is some support available to help automatically disconnect from the device, you may want to look into usblauncher as a better solution. This Perl program uses GTK2 and ctlmissile to provide a more user-friendly way of controlling the launcher.
Overall, the USB Launcher project is a great software tool for anyone looking to take control of their M&S USB Missile Launcher. The recent update now includes support for the Dream Cheeky USB missile launcher from James Puderer. Give it a try and see what it can do for you!
