@blackmagic-controller is a collection of libraries for interfacing with the various models of the usb controllers made by Blackmagic Design.
Check one of the installable packages for installation and usage instructions:
@blackmagic-controller/node@blackmagic-controller/web(Not yet ready for use)
The existing implementations are a light wrapper around the platform agnostic @blackmagic-controller/core. You can use your own HID implementation and device scanning/opening logic and reuse all the blackmagiccontroller bits.
If you are using a Chromium v89+ based browser, you can try out the webhid demo
On linux, the udev subsystem blocks access to the BlackmagicController without some special configuration.
Copy one of the following files into /etc/udev/rules.d/ and reload the rules with sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
- Use the headless server version when your software will be running as a system service, and is not related to a logged in user
- Use the desktop user version when your software is run by a user session on a distribution using systemd
Unplug and replug the device and it should be usable
