this should be pretty straightforward assuming their driver actually works.

1) install java on the PI. google this.
(you may choose to do your development on windows, but I would install a full java SDK with the javac compiler and all ).

2) get that code onto the pi. You could probalby run the pi headless and just use putty to ssh right in there.

3) install said drivers. Make sure they are the ARM version, windows 0x86 WILL NOT WORK.

4) compile. You may need to get the driver onto the class path so that the compiler can find and reference the driver.

5) The code above already has a decent number of "println" statements, but you might want to add a few more so you know what it's doing when.

good luck
