Digital dashboard using C# or VB and other technologies
-
Dear Reader/Developer, I want to develop a stand alone digital dashboard application to present live data from input coming into the computer ports (e.g. USB, serial or parallel port). The data is of an engineering type (e.g. volumes, mass, loads, velocity, etc). 1) What technologies do you recommend I use? (I am keen to learn what ever is required - I currently have an understanding of VB.NET and C#.NET). 2) Do you have any source code? 3) Which port would you recommend I use and why? 4) Which platform (i.e. a Windows form or internet browser application) would you recommend and why? The final application will be running in a hostile and stand-alone environment, so I need to ensure the solution is simple and robust. Notes: 1) I have spent a considerable amount of time searching and trolling Google pages with little definitive success. However I did find that there were several different approaches to developing digital dashboards so I am left wondering which one is the most robust approach for my problem? 2)I do not have a large budget to purchase one of the many digital dash boards development suites that are out there at huge cost. 3) This is definitely not a homework task - it is simply a genuine enquiry to gauge how best to approach this problem. Thank you for reading and considering this question, Regards, Christopher (Sciencez) :)

Thank you for your response - I was amazed at how fast you responded - I had only put the question up a few minutes earlier. I will investigate the leads you provided and get my head around the code. Again thank you for your thoughtfulness, Regards, Sciencez

Search CP for "industrial controls", "serial port", "USB". :)

Luc, Thank you for this most valuable insight - I did not think to search "Industrial Controls", but it has revealed some VERY valuable information and will give me the necessary guidance that I need to get started. I have also found "USB port" and "Serial port" very useful. Wishing you every happiness, - I notice you live in Belgium, - I hope you are enjoying the start of your Summer, - I live in Sydney, Australia and we are well in the grip of our Winter - I can't wait for the return of the warmer weather and the opportunity to swim and sit under a tree while working. Regards, Christopher

You're welcome. And yes, our Summer is setting in, we'll enjoy that. Cheers.
