USB Devices - eLogger Not Seen by App Running Under Wine

[jackerbes]

I am running an Windows application under Wine that is running a Wizard that is waiting for me to plug a USB device in so it can configure it. I have a grayed out Next button on the Wizard and nothing happens on the system when I plug the device into a USB port (no beeps, no disk activity).

The device is the Eagle Tree Systems eLogger electric power data logging recorder.

When I plug the eLogger in it shows an blinking LED that inidicates it is powered up and ready for the application to read it. And I do see the device as present on the USB bus and the info on that is as follows:

Code: Select all

Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0461:0200 Primax Electronics, Ltd

The maker of the device has acknowledged that the device is not working under Linux said they are working on that. They said that in 2008 and we are still waiting...

I have another app running under Wine that will read storage devices on the USB bus.

I have working installs for the same device running under XP Pro and Windows 7, if I can copy files and folders from those installs into the Wine install to get it working I can do that.

Any suggestions or help is appreciated...

I guess this question is a little too obscure or narrow in it's use...

I think is what the problem is that I need an app under linux that can see and then communicate with the data logger. It really only needs to be able to see and download the data that is stored there I think...

But I don't have clue as to where I could go to talk to someone who is smart enough to develop the software interface...

Any suggestions as to a forum for that kind of programming?
