Yes, that makes sense.. probably best not to over complicate it.

But since libusbhid is mostly a wrapper library, its messages are going to be a higher level of debugging anyway - mostly related to how you handle a particular device. So once you are confident that things are working for your device, turning debug off completely seems the way to go, programs will be smaller and faster (no continuous checking for debug messages are to be displayed). If bugs or problems resurface, the underlying libusb is going to yell at you anyway. Alternatively, you can just compile one release and one debug version of your executable.

I did notice that the one machine uses an AMD processor and all the others are Intel, not sure what that would have to do with anything, but it is a major system configuration difference. Thanks for the debug level information. I will probably just shut off all messages but it would be nice to have a way to turn them on if I need to debug something on a remote system. How about the libusbxhid debug messages? Since they are controlled with {$ifdef DEBUG_MSG} you can’t really turn them on and off without re-compiling. Could another variable be used to make libusbxhid messages optional but only if {$ifdef DEBUG_MSG} is used? It would be helpful to be able to hide them most of the time but show them if trying to debug without re-compiling.

I see all memory is released. At least it does not crash and burn badly. The function call you want to play with is: libusb_set_debug http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__lib.html#ga5f8376b7a863a5a8d5b8824feb8a427a Of course, you can set the level dynamically, from your program.

It’s an init_device error but no one was tying to do anything but get the list of devices from the system. Is there a description of the verbosity level anywhere? Is this a variable I can change during program execution without re-compiling it? It would be helpful if I was having an issue to turn on debug info, then turn it back off without exiting my program or needing to compile.
