Dear Rob,

FYI - There are other controllers out there that will work better from within Revolution. But, wIth out writing your own API for use in Rev ( You might have a problem with USB commands if Serial commands are not available) you might try to use the Phidgets API for PhidgetWebService from within Rev. It is not the best possible solution but should work since Rev is fully capable in communicating via the web and the Phidgets are fully capable of being controlled via web protocols. From what I can see you can embed the web service commands in a Rev wrapper and just execute them from your interface within Rev.

Let us know how it turns out.

Tom

Greetings,

I wonder, from those who understand such things, how one would make
Revolution talk to phidgets (http://www.phidgets.com/index.php), which
are essentially little USB sensors/controllers etc. There are a whole
set of libraries available, but I wonder which is the route of least
resistance? I asked about a CLI, but there are reasons why this will
never happen, so talking to phidgets through shell commands won't work.



Advance thanks

Rob
