Need help compiling and installing ESI Maya22 USB controller and GUI found at Github

Support Third-Party Software

The Control App for ESI MAYA22 USB provides both the driver (as below) along with a GUI it seems.

  1. Make sure you have the required dependencies:

    sudo pacman -Syu --needed alsa-plugins hidapi gcc-libs libusb

  2. Download the precompiled binary (maya22-control-amd64) from the Releases page.

  3. Rename it to maya22-control

  4. Copy it to /usr/local/bin/ and make it executable:

    sudo cp maya22-control /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod+x /usr/local/bin/maya22-control

  5. Create the Udev rule. This will call the maya22-control tool each time the USB interface is connected and recognized:

    sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/50-esi-maya22.rules

  6. Paste Ctrl+Shift+V the following into it:

    KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2573", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0017", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/maya22-control -d"

  7. Exit Ctrl+X Nano and type Y to save.

ESI-Maya22USBControl uses Conan to package binaries, I’m not familiar with that.
