In the docs directory of ACT-R 6 is a set of slides named "extending-actr"
which describes what is necessary to create a new device.  In addition to
those slides, there are files in the examples directory which create new
devices (specifically "simple-new-device" and all of the "new-vision-test*"
files).

If you have any questions or problems with those materials please let me
know.
