Webusb to scan documents

Question

Anybody had successfully configured webusb to scan a document ? I am able to connect to the usb scanner but wasn\'t able to find any documentation on commands to scan docume

Answer 1

I doubt that you managed to connect with the device. Reading the specification for security, you can see that the device should make some changes to be accessed via webusb, and your scanner doesn't have anything like that.

My attempts to use WebUSB, led me to buy an arduino microcontroller for a simple test. For more information, you can read this article about WebUSB on the Google Developer website. The purpose of this microcontroller is to use it as a proxy/intermediate between the PC and the scanner, since I have full control over the microcontroller and can instrument it properly for use with WebUSB.
