Question for embedVisual Tools (eVB & eVC)
-
Hi, I'd appreciate if anyone could give me a hand on the following. I have a project and am supposed to develop an interface for controlling an underwater robot. I am using Visual Tools and so far I've only been using eVB for my interface. The guys responsible for the robot provided me with all the code necessary for commanding it and giving status information and stuff, and it's in C++. Well my question is this : to make eVB work with C++(eVC++) I have to create a .dll file that will encapsulate all the C++ functions necessary for my controls? Like when for example I wanna make the robot move forward by pressing KeyUp , I 'll be using event KeyUp 38 or something to trap the hardware button, so in order to send through the network the message that includes the command to tell the robot to move forward, I have to create a .dll containing that C++ command so that my eVB application can talk with it? I hope you are not freakin out by the level of my ignorance but I'm new to VB and I'm not proud of my C++ skills, as for why I am stuck with a project like this? Coz I wanna learn my VB and C++ ;p
