I'm still on AppGameKit 108 - though v2 is looking very promising.

Anyhow, is there currently in 108 or planned for v2 any way to send commands via USB to an external device. For instance for controlling an arduino board via a lightweight android device or board (eg. Ouya or Android on a Raspberry Pi) with an app made in AppGameKit Tier 1.

Such a feature would be great for controlling just about anything you can think of. Lighting, motors, the possibilities are endless.

Going the other way is easy enough, as all you need do is set up the Arduino (or similar) as a HID, and it will function like any other input device. It's the output I'm interested in - sending data out via USB.
