Before proceeding, be sure to review Interface
Asset general concepts and our introduction to creating
your own interface asset. Treat these articles as prerequisites
to the content below.
NOTE: To create your own interface asset, you
will need the Enterprise Edition of IntuiFace Composer.
Description
Assuming you already know how to
develop your own .NET Interface Asset, you will see in this
example how IntuiFace can communicate with any device connected
through a serial port using the RS232 standard. As a bonus, some
USB devices still emulate a COM port and thus also use RS232,
meaning this article will apply to them as well.
You can find the
source code here and the sample
experience here.
NOTE: The source code is provided as-is without
any warranty. Feel free to upgrade the code and share it with the
IntuiFace Community.
Samples
At IntuiLab we have used this kind of interface asset with the
following devices:
barcode scanner: A trigger is raised every
time some data is read on the serial port
Arduino-driven car: Use your multi-touch
screen to drive the car and give it orders using the
Send action
