Hello all, im looking for some more ideas for an architectural solution to the following.
Our eng team is putting together a function specific computer for us. It runs Xp Embedded. our eng team has also developed two controllers (hardware) that are specific to the purpose of the computer and these controllers shall be seen as HID on the machine. The eng team is developing the firmware for the HID but anything beyond that point my team has to develop.
Each controller that has been developed provides some information; I will need to use EasyHID or something to look onto the events/pages that come in from the HID... I do see some code/apps that ppl have developed that hook onto 1 hid. I do however not see a multi-hid application, but i do think its possible? An option would be to create 1 application per HID and implement WCF into that application and use namedpipes to send out messages to anyone who is listening...
The other applications i create that need to receive data from these HID will also have a WCF implementation so that they can listen for messages.
thoughts? any idea how i can use dll's instead of wcf? would i just need to hook onto the handle of the process and watch for / throw events?
