Seeking libusb_device tutorial and/or examples - delphi

Like the title says (for Delphi 7). It seems that GINMF (google is not my friend)
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance
Update: Delphi only, please, not just the generic pages which I can find by googling. Thanks

Does any alternative for Collect View exist in Contiki NG?

I am using Contiki-NG OS and I pretend to plot some metrics but Collect-View is removed in Contiki-NG.
Could anyone help me with this issue?
Does any similar application exist?
Thanks in advance.
In contiki-NG there is a new application concerning power details of the motes.
A tutorial can be found in Energest: Energy Monotoring.
However, I don't know any application which can convert the data to a plot, like collect-view used to do. But I would also appreciate it if someone knew.

iPad1, use the 30pins VGA cable

I'm working on a simple application for a vacation with friends. It's something like the Wheel of Fortune.
The problem is that we with too much people to look at the iPad1, so I was thinking to beam the application. I got the 30pins VGA connector that I use for keynote and Adobe Idea, so I think it's possible.
I don't find something on the internet, or I can't figure it out how to search this specific problem.
Thanks in advance.
I found a bit off source code that helps

:-)
There's also this: https://github.com/freespace/TVOutManager which I was able to get working.
(this is an improved fork of work by Rob Terrell).
I didn't realise that the lack of video mirroring by default is a problem was only with the iPad 1 (which I don't have to support) as detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4108

Open Office Automation

Really hoping someone here will be able to help me. I am wanting to automate my applications and Open Office.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction? There is mountains of information out there for Microsoft Office Automation but barely anything on Open Office.
I hope someone can recommend a good set of components to purchase or perhaps some good libraries to include in my projects that will make automation easier.
Any help would be appreciated!
Kind Regards
Donovan
There are quite a lot examples around. In the UNO OpenOffice Project, there are some samples also for Delphi. The samples for other languages are also helpfull, because the systematic of UNO (which is the API of OpenOffice also over COM) is a bit complicated.
There is also a forum with some Delphi-Code: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/
There are some Tools and Constanst and Example Units, this is a very good starting point: http://www.koders.com/delphi/fidB69083385CA27692654E24A4FBC81ED2AC516B49.aspx?s=ftp#L63
I have quite a lot of code for that task, but it is too much to post it here (sorry) and it is included in a very big application.
you can start by checking out the UNO OpenOffice automation project: http://udk.openoffice.org/
There was also a Sun Microsystems initiative called ODF Toolkit, but it never took off.

Sites for beginning Delphi programmers

Referring to this question, it might be nice to collect links to sites that really help Delphi beginners.
The first answer pointed to Delphi Basics, which is a really nice site.
But there must be more.
So: please contribute to this community wiki question.
A Beginner's Guide to Delphi Programming (at http://delphi.about.com)
on-line version of Teach Yourself Borland Delphi 4 in 21 Days (still very relevant)
Learn To Program Delphi Part One (at http://www.bitwisemag.com)
Essential Pascal (at http://www.marcocantu.com/epascal/)
What about this ?
Delphi wiki
Delphi.wikia.com has a Delphi Videos link that was great for me when I was first learning Delphi.
Nick Hodges 30 Camtasia Demos are great.
Alister Christie has great videos as well.
In German language:
http://www.delphi-treff.de/
In Dutch language
http://www.nldelphi.com/
In this thread: "Where are all the Delphi Developers?" you can find a lot of resources, Webs, forums, links,... where you can get help and information to start with Delphi.
There are actually 2 quite good Embarcadero sites that I sometime use.
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Main_Page
http://channel-e.embarcadero.com/
Hope they help
This guy makes videos, I have had use of them myself:
http://www.youtube.com/user/codegearguru
EDIT: Did not see anyone already posted that, sorry :P
The Delphi Foundations book by Chris Rolliston is very good also.
Lots of recent links to resources, including free training and Starter Editions:

BlackBerry Technical Specification

I'm having trouble locating BlackBerry techical specifications and their website is a mess. They also don't have a number that I can use to easily contact them.
This isn't exactly a coding question, but what does the BlackBerry audio API look like, and where can I get technical specifications on audio? Specifically, I'm trying to find out more information on Audio-In, specifically, through the Mic-In on the 3.5 mm jack.
Unfortunately, before I can proceed, I need to know such things like sampling rate, data width, etc.
Direction to the right resource or if you know off of the top of your head is appreciated.
I couldn't agree more, the BlackBerry site is a maze!
You can find the API here.
I am not sure about the audio side of BlackBerry I'm afraid but check out
the BlackBerry support forum as there are some guys who work for RIM on there.
How about this post?
I am sorry I can't help more.
