usbipd-win VS usbip-win

If (like me) you're stuck on Windows, WSL2 is really awesome. It's super fast, and requires very minimal setup to get it up and running. The VS Code integration is superb. You can even connect USB devices to WSL now, which makes it very suitable for embedded. You get nearly the performance of a full OS install, unlike a typical VM. On my machine it's about 50% faster than Virtualbox.

ADS-B is a protocol used by aircrafts to broadcast their position, altitude, speed, and other information. Nowadays, the majority of aircrafts broadcast ADS-B messages constantly. Anyone with the right equipment can listen to these messages. You can buy a relatively cheap USB dongle with an antenna on Amazon and install drivers for it on Linux. In my case I used usbipd-win to mount the USB device inside Ubuntu running in WSL2. Then I installed the Linux drivers and dump1090, a program that makes use of these drivers and then outputs ADS-B messages in a format that is easy to parse. While you can use dump1090 to display a neat table full of information about aircrafts, I wanted to use its raw output capabilities to parse ADS-B messages myself. It starts a simple TCP server that outputs raw ADS-B messages wrapped in Mode-S Beast frames. I'm not sure what Beast means, but I found something that looks like its spec here.

Anyway, in the meantime you can try using usbipd-win. Start with:

Hi, I'm using usbipd to redirect USB devices to a remote virtual machine (USB/IP) for my work and I'd like to know if the expansion cards are detected as their own devices, especially the Ethernet expansion card.

What about USB devices support ?

Is there any more integrate solution than:

There is even a GUI available for usbip-win if you please. Start here: https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win

I installed usbipd as outlined here. When I run lsusb, I can see my USB drive:

Though I see https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win may actually work properly as a full usb passthrough now for WSL2?

For server (e.g. machine that provides devices), https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win is a bit more mature - they grabbed the driver infrastructure from virtualbox to handle the issues with code signing.

Check this project out. Works with WSL. Should work with Hyper-V too https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win

Ahh true then just use the project its forked from: https://github.com/cezanne/usbip-win

Hey, so for windows I installed this one: https://github.com/cezanne/usbip-win The instructions I think are pretty easy to follow.

Then sprinkle some USB-over-ip on top and we're graduating from cloudygaming to heavengaming

Another thing to look into: Linux usbip. There's also a Windows server/client so that would work on the PC side. And then of course you can just use WiFi to make it wireless.

Found this: https://github.com/cezanne/usbip-win

There are also programs that let you share a USB device from Windows over the network, but those programs either have a high monthly charge ($10-$20 per device per month), or you can try the open-source one (I last played with this about 10 years ago, it worked, but caused a blue screen in the client if you disconnected the USB device from the serving machine).

If I keep a direct connection to the machine (custom connection client, it's a r/ShadowPC on cloud, just so that you realize that it has his own client) which already redirects my keyboards and mouse, and another person connects through another client and forwards his keyboard and mouse through usbip-win, how would I go for windows to recognize 2 different inputs?
