When developing host software, it is important to note that mDynamo Weatherized is a combination of
two devices integrated into a common enclosure:
•
mDynamo Weatherized uses a primary control unit and chip card reader based on MagTek's OEM
solution platform, mDynamo. When the host communicates with the device through the USB port, it
is communicating directly with mDynamo.
MagTek produces software development kits (SDKs) with API libraries that provide higher-level
functions wrapped around USB HID communication protocols. These libraries simplify the development
of custom host software that interfaces with mDynamo Weatherized. See:

In addition to MagTek's SDKs, custom software on any operating system can communicate directly with
the device using the operating system's native USB libraries and protocols. For details, see D998200151
