Read USB device (RFID reader)

Hi,
I have a RFID reader known as a mir:ror from a company called Violet (<http://violet.net>). They have an application that interfaces with the reader and can detect and read RFID chips when they are dropped and picked from the reader.
I want to write an application in Rev to do just that and trigger actions in response, depending on the ID of the chip.
How can I catch the the signal from the USB reader? Any idea?
Thanks to all!

Yow! I hadn't seen the mir:ror device before - that looks very cool. Does the usb driver emulate a serial port? If that's the case then you can use rev's serial port commands. Otherwise things will get a bit tricky.

Don't know about the mir:ror device yet, but the Nabaztag device has an API:
