lsusb?

Hi All,

Anyone know of an equivalent command in Windows to Linux's "lsusb"
that will list all your usb devices?

Many thanks,

How about "sniffer" software that can read the traffic on a given USB
device? Whereas there is Wireshark for LAN traffic, its ability to read USB
ports seems to be limited and difficult to relate to the device. For
example, if you listen to a mouse or a keyboard, you should get very little
traffic apart from keepalives, and then a torrent of traffic when you move
the mouse or press a key.

I'm trying to eavesdrop on the traffic that a weather station generates so I
can have a go at developing my own software to log and graph the data to a
spec that more closely maps my needs that packages such as Cumulus.

I've never used wireshark's USB ability, have heard of people who are
reverse engineering USB drivers running a windows guest on a linux
virtual host, and sniffing on the linux side ...

Now that is a "die hard!"

I have sniffed with wireshark on an Ethernet device to
see what was happening on some proprietary software,
but this. Yikes!

Got me an old four port 10 base-t hub that I can put inline
and power from a USB port that makes life easier with wireshark.

Shucks... I only have 6 USB ports, so I just take a peek and I'm up
to date on all my USB devices.

Using Device Manager, do Properties, and look for
HardwareID. There, you'll find VID and PID.

For example, my Logitech Mouse in Properties : Details
has Hardware ID of Vid_046d and Pid_c01a. Then you
look them up in an unofficial chart.

These are some weather stations.

0fde Oregon Scientific
ca01 WMRS200 weather station
ca05 CM160

1941 Dream Link
8021 WH1080 Weather Station

Once you have a chipID, you can start your
search for existing software.

"up to date." What do you mean?

Motherboard make and model number ?

Odds are, you have more ports than that.

There's a fairly narrow time band, of machines
with exactly six ports like that. Like, maybe
a dual USB1.1 interface on the SB, plus a NEC
addon four port USB2 chip. Around the year 2005 or so.
Just before USB2 had a "page" added to the BIOS screen.
