I have an interesting request ... I write a lot of GPS based apps, and am quite familiar with reading data from via a COM port from the GPS. A client needs that GPS position offset - rather than exactly where the GPS is, he needs it to read (e.g.) at right angles to the direction of travel and a certain distance away ... so he can drive past Telecom poles, and click a button, but record the position of the pole on the berm, not the truck on the road.
That's fine if it's internal to my app, as I can do the math, but he has another app which is a black box and hooks into a camera system, and I have no access to this software. What I want to do is write a little app that reads the GPS COM Port, does the offset, and then "streams the offset data out to another COM Port" ... and the camera box can then read this COM Port. Is this even possible ? To write an app that streams data to a COM Port so that another application on the same computer can read it ? It's a bit of an odd one, and I don't know where to start looking ...
