Hi guys. We have built an application that uses the camera on a tablet to take a photo of a customer. We need to light the subject due to poor quality. We would like to use a USB light. Is there a way of turning this light on and off in AIR ? Thanks

A different approach would be to use an IP switch, something like this: WeMo Switch

You could then turn on power to the lights using a web query.

great idea but that would get too expensive I think

For now it is possible only by writing your own native extension.

Here feature request for that: Feature#3803837 - Serial support for desktop Air applications

Please vote if your are interesting in it.
