Hardware output routes your input through a dedicated device — the Rebind Link — so your scripts run on the device and leave as standard USB HID at up to 8,000 Hz, for deterministic timing and isolation from the host OS. Software mode needs none of this; How it works covers the software-vs-hardware split. This page connects your device and activates it.

​
What you need

  • A Rebind Link. No soldering or wiring — just the included USB cable.
  • A Rebind license. You own the device; it keeps working without ongoing payment.
  • The Rebind app, on the latest version — re-run the install command in the quickstart to update.

​
Connect your device

Plug the Rebind Link in and open the Rebind app — the device is detected automatically and appears in the Devices tab. Firmware updates are delivered automatically through the Rebind app; there is nothing to install or maintain. (For the commands below, click the terminal icon in the lower-right corner of the app.)

​
Activate

Your Rebind license key is emailed when you purchase. Activation ties the key to the device and is done once per board:
(On failure the command prints activation failed: <message> instead.) The license then lives on the hardware and works offline.

​
Verify

If devices info shows your board with its firmware version, hardware output is live. Run a script — its output now comes from the device.
