USB Missile Launcher NZ can be used to control a USB Missile Launcher. As shipped the included software is only for Windows, now Mac users can control the Launcher.
Myself and Glenn Anderson purchased a USB Rocket Launcher each. We already knew that it did not come with Mac OS drivers or software and took the opportunity to fill the gap. Glenn wrote the Mac OS X driver after getting Things to work under OS 9. He also wrote a keyboard based program to move the Turret and fire.
I've taken Glenn's code and built and Cocoa / Objective-C program with Graphical User Interface. Ideas for look and feel have come from around the globe, see references below. The source code has been included with this distribution
