You may notice [[MX_Basic_info#HidSharp.dll|HidSharp.dll]] in same folder as executable, this is a cross-platform [https://www.nuget.org/packages/HidSharp/ Universal Serial Bus (USB) Human Interface Device (HID) library]. | |||

To check HID, download this [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/download/file.php?id=11414 USB HID test package] and run it. | MX uses this library for weather stations (like Fine Offset and USB connected Oregon Scientific models) that appear as a HID via a USB connection. To check if your weather station appears as a HID, download this [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/download/file.php?id=11414 USB HID test package] and run it. | ||
This HidSharp library calls a package ''libudev shared library'' file called ''libudev.so.1''. Most recent Linux distributions will already include the libudev shared library. On my Raspberry Pi, [[#install|typing]] <code>apt search libudev</code> showed ''libudev.so.1'' was already installed. If it is missing, then [[#install]] it. | |||
Optionally, read about [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=14310&p=111593&hilit=libudev.so.1#p111593 Oregon Scientific] issues. | |||
Optionally, read about [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=107913#p107913 Fine Offset] issues, and the optional symbolic file link instructions (those apply if you only have an earlier libudev shared library version, and wish MX to use that). | |||
