Cannot open device with path

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to read input from a Acan barcode scanner that emulates a keyboard.

However var device = new HID.HID('USB_05fe_1010_14200000'); returns cannot open device with path USB_05fe_1010_14200000.

Currently, when scanning the scanner “types” the read characters followed by a return key. Do I need to set a particular config setting for this to be read as a HID directly?
