I have a really big question... It will be pretty straightforward.First the problem:I attend a class for programming, and my teacher one day brought in a usb cannon bearing a close resemblance to this http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/8a0f/#tabs . He said that if we can make it fire, he will award me .5 bit coins, and I'm still in High school, and a fairly new programmer at that. I only know the basics of C#, and I'm not that far into the total world of programming.Now what I need:So far I was wondering how I will make it fire?I need to know how to access the cannon through USB (What programs to use),how will I program it ( or interact with it. Not sure if I program it to fire, because it already has the firmware in the cannon, but I need to know how to activate it), and I overall need to know how to overcome this challenge, even though I am a newer person.At first, I looked at this as a way to get a few quick dollars, but now I'm seriously interested. It's a challenge, and it's really fun to try to find out how to do it. However, I don't know where to go from here. I researched to the best of my ability, and tried to understand how chips work, and even how USB's work. I still have yet to find a way to do this though.Can you help me by providing me the basics of how to program/initiate the codes; tell me what software I will need, how I will communicate with the firmware, and try to make this thing fire?
Need help with how I am going to make a usb microprocessor work
