[edit] Examples of use

A very simple example of using Minia with Pure Data is available here: http://bochovj.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/a-simple-integration-of-minia-and-puredata/

[edit] Minia and Pure Data

Minia can be easily used with PureData with the hid (in linux) or hidin (in Windows) objects.

[edit] Minia and Java

Mapping Minia to java is not an easy task as there is no standard support for HID devices in the virtual machine. The only way to do it is by calling some native library of the OS or some abstraction like the HIDApi that presents a common interface for linux, Windows and MacOS.

There is java library for Minia here, for more details look at here

[edit] Tools

One nice tool to use when creating prototypes is Fritzing. From their webpage:

Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers, artists, researchers and hobbyists to work creatively with interactive electronics. We are creating a software and website in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, developing a tool that allows users to document their prototypes, share them with others, teach electronics in a classroom, and to create a pcb layout for professional manufacturing.

Minia has its own Fritzing model, you can download it here.
