This library acts as a driver for the Velleman K8055 USB Experiment Board (http://www.velleman.eu) for operating systems supporting libusb-1.0, such as Linux. While providing a high-
level interface for the user, the library communicates with a k8055 board through libusb.
+## Main Features
+- runs with libusb-1.0
+- up to 4 k8055 boards supported simultaneously (limit is given by k8055 hardware)
+- lightweight (one source file, one header file => one shared library)

## Requirements
- libusb-1.0 (see src/Makefile to set include path)
- (doxygen for documentation generation)
