Using BlinkStick with AHK

Post by SirSocks » 26 Aug 2022, 08:16

Has anyone tried to use AHK to control a BlinkStick? It seems like it somehow should be possible, as it's compatible with AutoIt.

The AutoIt code provided on GitHub includes several (UDF) libraries. If not already available (or the next C19 wave is incarcerating a billion (bored to death) developers, I can't see that someone wants to convert all of it - regardless that it seems possible. But I might be wrong :think:

PS. why not simply use it with AutoIt? That's not illegal, AFAIK.

You can use component object model to automate it.

Good point, COM will most likely be a simply method of interacting with the BlinkStick.
