Nope, not possible. USB is not like a com port (even thought you can emulate a com port with USB). USB requires a specific driver tailored to the target device (USB communication is not similar to rs-232 serial communication, the main difference being that an end device can not send data to the computer without a direct request from the computer).

Hey all,
I'm looking at rs232 controllable PTX systems, and they seem to be more and more usb and less and less rs232.
So is there anything like [comport] that allows one to send bytes to usb devices? I think a general mechanism, like [comport] that would work for all usb devices would be better than a slew of objects for each specific usb device...
Thoughts?
