I got a measuring instrument which can measure light intensity and this instrument can be connected to a PC via USB.

I now want to be able to read the values from the device via a Raspberry.

When the instrument is connected to the Pi, it shows up when entering 'lsusb' to the terminal and it is also listed under '/dev/usb' as hiddev1

But how can i actually grab the data from the device? When i enter 'sudo cat /dev/usb/hiddev1' nothing happens.

Thanks in advance for your help

Try using HIDAPI, a cross-platform library for accessing Human Interface Devices.
