Subject: Re: [GWN] Few technical answers from HIMS...
Hello. I would hate to confuse the non-technical list members as
to the
programming of the Braille Sense. Since the SDK for the U.S.
versions is
not available at this time, perhaps this discussion can be tabled
until
it is. We may end up even creating a Sense-Programming list
similar to
how we created a Scripting list for Window-Eyes scripts rather
than
general Window-Eyes usage.
Many thanks.

Hello Joseph and list,
If the Braille Sense's code was written using C++, then could
one not
also write the code for a program for the Braille Sense in C++
and then
use another program to compile that code into something the
Braille
Sense can understand?

Hi folks, particularly programmers and would-be engineers,
Out of curiosity, I asked HIMS (at the Korean HIMS bulletin
board) a
few technical questions. The questions and answers are as
follows:
Q. Is it possible to use serial port to send debug
information to a
computer monitor?
No answer from HIMS.
Q. It seems that IEEE 802.11N is gaining in popularity; is
there
plans to implement support for this standard?
HIMS: Braille Sense only supports 802.11G standard at this
time.
Q. Does the SD host controller (SD slot) on the Plus, Plus
QWERTY
and Voice Sense support SDHC (SD High Capacity) cards?
HIMS: Yes.
Q. What is the display resolution for the LCD monitor on
the BS unit?
HIMS: 200X40.
Q. Under Windows CE 5.0, one can use up to 32 MB of virtual
memory
and execute up to 32 programs. Does that explain why one
can run up
to seven programs simultaneously?
No answer from HIMS.
Q? Braille Sense app image: are all programs grouped under a
single
Braille Sense application image or are they separate
executables?
HIMS: Each of the programs under Program Menu are separate
executables.
Q. besides main BS program and CE kernel (nk.exe), what
processes
start when BS boots up?
HIMS: When Windows CE boots up, the Task Manager application
starts.
All BS programs run as executables under this main Task
Manager
program. *1
Q. What program language was used to create BS app, and is
the SDK
language the same, or is there an interpreter or some sort
for other
programming languages under the SDK?
HIMS: Braille Sense source code was written using MFC
(Microsoft
Foundation Classes) *2
Notes:
*1. So, the Program Menu under Braille Sense is named Task
Manager.
Thus, under this interface, the executables for program on
that menu
runs as separate applications under TaskMan framework, like
Windows
Explorer shell.
*2. MFC was written in C++ - this means that BS source code
was
written in C++ language.
Hope these answers would be useful for the list.
Cheers,
Joseph
