Just when the finishing post is in sight…

I thought I was going to be able to finish off everything for the new release of oaCapture today, but just at the last moment I’ve found a problem with the support for the Starlight Xpress filter wheel.

I’ve written support for the wheel using libusb although in actual fact the device claims to be a HID.  It all works on Linux, but on OSX the kernel forces a driver to load for HIDs and they can’t be detached via libusb.  So, the driver won’t work.

Looks like the solution is going to be to re-write the driver using a HID interface.  But not for this release I think.  I’ll put it on the list for the next one.
