Currently I am following  below link to setup the “HID configurator for nRF Desktop”.

link: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/scripts/hid_configurator/README.html#nrf-desktop-config-channel-script

but every time when I execute below command I will get below error. It looks like the HIDAPI install failed.

Command:

py C:\Work\sdk\nrfconnect_sdk\ncs\nrf\scripts\hid_configurator\configurator_cli.py -h

Failed Log:

After that I go back to check my HIDAPI install, it looks the installation for HIDAPI is successfully. The log could be show as below (My OS platform : windows 10 version 1809 (OS BUILD 17763.1397)

the setup is following this link:https://github.com/libusb/hidapi

Hello,

I was able to replicate this error with Python 3.8.2 64-bit, but it worked when I switched to v 3.8.6rc1. Could you please try with the same version on your side and see if you get the same result.

Note that the pre-compiled hidapi libaries can be placed adjacent to the python executable. You don't have to compile it from source.
