macOS USB Control

[moore1879]

I want to write software to control my usb ports. What would that entail? More specifically, say I have an electric motor that has been wired to plug into my usb port. What would I have to do to write software that would control the speed of the motor? What language would I have to use, etc?

Thank you in advance.

It depends on what the motor controller looks like (in a software sense).
If it behaves like a serial port, then its straight forward.
Have you looked at RealBasic?

I would say that the simplest way to go is the best. I was thinking something more command line oriented, however I could go GUI. I have experience with C, Perl, Python, and Java. I have done nothing with RealBasic.

Should be able to do it in C etc.
Just need to find mount point. Then its just reading and writing to a file.
I've haven't done this. I've only used Realbasic.
