 |
|
| Quote: | Joy2TX is a simple application that demonstrates how to communicate with a PC to TX interface, such as PCBUDDY or SC-8000RF and controll an RC device (UAV, airplane, robot, etc.) using PC with a Joystick. The Joystick inputs are converted and send through serial port to the interface. The basic application allows to control 3 channels using X/Y/Z joystick axes, it is however very easy to enable the rest unused channels and use some additional input devices such as rudder pedals or a mouse. Bellow is a screenshot:
This is full 32-bit application designed to run on Windows NT/2K/XP/NET and Linux. It runs with Realtime priority to allow smooth servo operation while running another (for example video decoder) programs simultaneously. It consumes very little CPU so it won't hang or slow down the system. Available is full source code in C. Binary executable versions have been removed for download as they make very little sense if not customized in the source code.
NEW: Joy2TX 2.0 BETA Version. Now you have a customizable configuration file and binary exe version. No need for recompile.Get it [here]. |

Is this a compiled AHK script, or a traditional executable?

[EDIT] Disregard, I didn't see the link at first - I now see it is a traditiional executable. Thanks. [/EDIT] |

The C source code is available for download from the link. It appears that it is a proper C application...
It (your post) peaked my curiosity, as I have made use of port.dll to very successfully facilitate AHK script serial port connectivity, but it is so darned slow that I am looking for other alternatives. I am building a Win32 IDE for a microcontroller (CoridiumCorp.com - ARMbasic for NXP's ARM based micros...) that I am working with in developing a home-brew UAV avionics suite. The existing tools that Coridium provides are TCL tools, and somewhat not to my personal liking. They use TCL so as to leverage their tools across many platforms - it makes sense, but I am a Win32 user, and have grown accustomed to having a bit more GUI customizability with the tools I use.
I am using Notepad++ as my root code editing application and using AHK to build upon it to round out the compiler, programmer, and debugger portions of the tool chain. When I saw that the app you were pointing out was making use of the serial port, I had to explore it a bit more. Too bad I don't desire to pay the price of going through what is needed to learn to code C properly, I simply don't have the time or desire...
BTW B, you into RC? IF so, and you are not familiar with the site (just in case...), there are a bunch of related tools spread throughout the RCGroups.com website. If you aren't familiar, I'd suggest taking a month or two to peruse their forums (as there is a tremendous amount of info that resides therein).
Thanks for the pointer on the app. Take care.
