HID success

[Marcus Meissner]

Hi,

Small success story on HID ;)

I just helped a colleague to enable the "Polar Loop 2" wristband for his wive.

The device uses HID to synchronize settings and update firmware.

While the device can be (later) configured used with Bluetooth and a Smartphone App,
the basic initialization must be done with a Windows App.

Wine worked nicely after the usual chmod og+rw /dev/hidraw0

(The reconnect after the firmware update had a bit of trouble, but the 
 syncing of settings worked.)

Ciao, Marcus

Awesome! That is wonderful to hear! I am glad that work is proving to be functional!
