I have successfully used pocket pcs in the past (using the serial port) to control simple robots (small rovers). Looking around here and on apples' developer website, it seems that starting on 3.0, they do allow applications to communicate (and even use their own protocol) with custom hardware. I'd assume they have the same policy for b...
This is my mental image of what happens and I am hoping for some corrections, clarifications and maybe even more details. Basically, when the computer is powered on, the BIOS loads all devices on the PCI bus and makes them available at a certain pre-determined addresses. The same occurs with the PCI-express bus. So each device can rece...
Hello, I'm working in VB.Net developing data logging software. I've developed classes implementing a common interface that works with many of the data loggers my company produces. These classes handle the low-level hardware interfacing and expose common methods for accessing the data logger's records. My issue is what would be a good...

I need to send data to a hardware device over serial port. I'm using a program called serial port tool for os x. After I connect to the device there is a form box where I can type data to send. I have no idea how to format the data. Here is an excerpt from the manual for the device. "The Net Manager Command structure consists of one ...
I'm using the ruby serial port gem. After I open up the port I send the data I want like this. sp.write [200.chr, 30.chr, 7.chr, 5.chr, 1.chr, 2.chr, 0.chr, 245.chr].to_s It doesn't work, but if I put it in a loop of around 200 times: 200.times do sp.write [200.chr, 30.chr, 7.chr, 5.chr, 1.chr, 2.chr, 0.chr, 245.chr].to_s end It ...
I understand this can seem a bit weird. So I'll give more details. Is it possible for my computer to interact with some kind of "coin collector" ( just like the kind that's used in a vending machine ) ? Basically I'd like to be able to implement the following methods public void onCoinInserted( Coin coin ){ if( coin.value == 10 ) ...
Hi all, Is it possible to simulate a USB drive with software only? I mean, for example, to expose a local memory space to the OS so the device manager will recognize it as a USB device. I'm not familiar with hardware implementation, but I'm sure that it is possible somehow to emulate the USB protocol. I began with this book - USB Desig...

I am trying to see if there is a way to have a web page interface with a local scanner device to capture, write ...
I have a small project (for my cell phone) on the go, and I believe I have found IO Control codes for what I want to accomplish (theres nothing at a higher level unless I can reverse engineer the dlls and call them). However, the codes are from a different device from a different manufacturer (the board is the same - a snapdragon 8650)...

If so, then how? I'm doing a team project for school. I thought that Java couldn't actually access hardware directly, since that would make it hard to be cross-platform.
