Topic: USB Missile Launcher and running from control panel

I've written my first Chumby widget/daemon. A demo of it is on youtube here:

If you're interested I can share the binaries/source.

Now I have a question.
How do I get it to be launched from the control panel?

Very cool!

Wow that's hilarious, nice work. What is the missle hardware? Was it difficult to get the driver?

I have a project where I'm trying to interface the Chumby with a Phidget relay board. I posted in the hardware section but got no reply. I'm told the Chumby One has built in drivers for the Phidget, but alas I have a Chumby Classic.

As far as getting the widget to appear in control panel, I have a feeling a widget downloaded from the web won't be able to access your USB port since the widgets have a pretty restricted security model. If it comes from the web, it can only access the web. Silly if you ask me, but such is life. But I think there is a way to get a widget from a thumbdrive to appear on your control panel, though I don't know what it is.

Can you post your widget and binaries ?
