How Freakin hard can it be to write a stupid USB driver?
My mother is legally blind, and diabetic. She uses a blood glucose monitor that has audible instructions and results. (she still has to manage to hit the test strip on the drop of blood, though).
Her doctor would like to see a list of previous tests, so she can chart progress over a month or more. The device has a usb port. I have a usb cable. The device manufacturer has a *similar* model that has software, but doesn't work for this model. For OVER A FREAKIN YEAR, the web site has had a notice that the driver for this model is "temporarily unavailable". It continues to be advertised and sold. The times I've tried to read data using the old model's driver, I end up deleting old records without copying anything.
Isn't this kinda stuff supposed to be done BEFORE you sell a medical device?
Even a text file with data in it would be useful.
