Nice project, i like! But you should add a little more informations for installing it on a new windows 7/8 machine. I worked on this problems:

  • its important to install exactly version 2.6, especially to install PyUsb
  • For PyUSB installer its necessary to install the 32bit version of python 2.6! otherwise, installation doesn't work.
  • Python and PyUSB installer need to run as Admin. Python-installer at least returns an error, PyUSB installer just freeze -.-

URLs to the installing packaged would be nice, i will add them soon.

Despite of my issues, thx for your work!

Your project is finally running on my windows 7, here some useful information: -install python V2.6, 32bit (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/) -install pyusb. All information u need is here: https://github.com/walac/pyusb. First, you have to install libusb (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/?source=dlp). I made a new driver for my rocketlauncher, but i'm not sure if thats necessary. -now your python-script should run again.

I'm not really sure if the PyUSB-installer is necessary, just follow the hints on the pyusb-github-page. That worked fine for me!

Maybe you can add some of this information to this project. regards Ursin
