Unhappy Explanantion needed on how to get USB data from the roboRIO
My team has an idea for position tracking which requires the use of a USB port. Last year this obviously wasn't possible (without A LOT of workarounds and ordering parts from overseas). This year we were excited to see the roboRIO sporting 2 host USB ports. I'm the lead programmer and have been tasked with programming this system.

How would I go about getting data off of the USB? I found the kUSB value in the Port class that is used to construct a SerialPort object but I haven't had any luck getting data from the port through this method. (although I haven't really had much time to play with it yet)

Any help would be much appreciated and I thank you for the time you spent reading this.
