PeekyPokey - a USB board for h/w programming in .NET
-
Hi guys! I'm not sure this is the right place for this so forgive me if it's not but here goes. I've made a USB board called PeekyPokey with an API so that you can use .NET languages such as C# for interfacing with electronics stuff like relays, RFID tag readers, tactile buttons, rotary encoders, keypads, sensors, servos and things like that. Project home page on CodePlex: http://www.peekypokey.org/ The API also comes with an extensive toolkit containing classes for the PC side of things too - like a built in webserver, gamepad drivers, virtual keys, midi interface, general HID interface and so on - things you can use to control electronic devices. In essence, PeekyPokey has 8 general input/outputs, a virtual COM port, 3.3V/5V power supplies and kind of brings Windows PCs and electronics together in pretty much the same way IOIO does for Android. The PeekyPokey board targets programmers curious of embedded electronics programming and hardware interfacing. The whole idea is to play, explore, learn and have fun with electronics. I'm wondering if you'd be interested in me writing an article about the board and how to use it? NOTE: I'm not selling the boards, I'm just the creator. Thanks!

It looks like your tool is free, so post it in the Free Tools forum[^].

My latest article: Understand how bitwise operators work (C# and VB.NET examples) My group: C# Programmers GroupYeah, the software is free and most PC stuff actually works without the board (such as the web server, HID class, gamepad interface, etc). Ok, I'll post it there. Thanks! http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4653609/PeekyPokey-a-USB-board-for-h-w-programming-in-NET.aspx[^]
