Hello guys!
I have a test to do and I don`t know where to start from:
I have a Pocket PC (FS Loox N560) with USB Host. In a future application I will have to get data on this USB cable from another device, but that device sends data on a Serial port. So, having to test if I can receive that data, I got a module that goes from USB to Serial.
Now, more specific:
I have to use the usb port of my device to send some data (random data). If this is successfull, a led will start blinking on that module, telling me that data is received to it (and will convert it to serial, in my future application).
I`ve been given a link to some drivers for this:
Virtual COM Port Drivers. On this page, the ARMxScale Processor: Driver 1.0.2.9
I`ve been told to use a virtual driver to simulate my usb port as a serial port and simply send some data through it. I must say that I have 0 experience in creating drivers (or using them) and very little experience in using the serial port. I know it`s physical principle (i`m studying at the university of electronics and telecomunications), and that you receive/send data by defining it as a file and reading/writing from/to this file.
I`m very grateful for any link,suggestion,snappet etc.

Well, normally you shouldn't develop the driver yourself, it should be provided with the USB-to-serial module. But it is possible that there is no driver for it for PocketPC, you have to look at it. Otherwise, I don't think you'll be able to develop it yourself (you need to know how to interact with the module itself).
And if everything is fine and you have a PocketPC version of the driver, then it is quite easy to work with: you just open it as a standard serial port (you'll need to know on which port number though).
EDIT: BTW, maybe the module is already supported so you can just try and plug it in and see what happens.

10x Cedric, for your fast reply
The module is a non-profesional one, which was created by my supervisor from a scheme (so as a wild guess Plug&Play won`t work). It`s built around a specific chip that does this conversion (USB -> Serial). The same person instructed me to use that driver (from the links I gave in the 1st message) to make it work.
I suppose I'm here:

I just wonder.. how to determin the number ? Simply trying all of them ?
Are you aware of a link to some serial project (designed for WinCE) ?

Ok, so I suppose the driver will work (of course, you'll have to take the version for PocketPC). Just install it and plug your module to see if everything is ok (if it doesn't say that it is an unrecognized device, it should be ok).

I know that you can get it from a key in the registry but as I never did it myself (and never played with the registry before), I won't be able to help you.
After a little search on codeproject, I found this[^]. You should test it and see if it works on your platform (it should normally). You can also have a look in the same category to find other articles about that.

I'm found this library at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluelib/[^]

did you forget to specify a .lib file in your linker settings ?

Have you tried to email the author or post this on the Blue forums (assuming they have any)? You'll probably get a more accurate answer there.
Never mind, the project looks dead, the last release was 3 years ago, the forums are full of spam, or old (the last author post was 4 years ago), and the site's online docs are defacaced/hacked

out of curiosity ...
What is a general purpose library and why should one use it instead of what is already available when developing with Visual Studio ?
Why would you need to use it ? does it have something in particular ?

I am a begginer in vc++, I am slowly working through a manual
can I driectly draw from the Onidle or call the cview-ondraw
can I do both? how do I go about this?
also, each time the onidle function is called, I would like to update
a variable and invoke this when I do the drawing methods
where do I declare this variable? I presume it to be a global
Please help, I'm stuck and i'm not very bright!!!!

The best way is to update your variable and if you need to redraw, then call Invalidate()
This way, a WM_PAINT-message is sent, and automagically MFC calls your OnDraw(). And there (and only there!) you draw on the screen.
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Hi !
I have a small problem with CArray.
I have some different places ( number not available ) where I measure temperatures every minute.
Now I want to store these temperatures in a CArray.
class CTempReader
{
struct GRAPH_POINTS // Holds the information of Temperature, Time and Date
{
int Temperature;
CString Date;
CString Time;
} St_Graph_Points;
struct TEMP_POINTS // Holds all temperatures of one place
{
CArray<graph_points,graph_points> TempZone;
} St_Temp_Points;
private:
CArray<temp_points,temp_points> TempZone; // The different places
}
If I try to compile these I get the following error:
C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\include\afxtempl.h(272) : error C2248: "CObject::CObject": Kein Zugriff auf private Member, dessen Deklaration in der CObject-Klasse erfolgte.
C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\include\afx.h(553): Siehe Deklaration von 'CObject::CObject'
C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\include\afx.h(524): Siehe Deklaration von 'CObject'
Diese Diagnose trat in der vom Compiler generierten Funktion "CArray<type,arg_type>::CArray(const CArray<type,arg_type> &)" auf.
with
[
TYPE=CCSVReader::GRAPH_POINTS,
ARG_TYPE=CCSVReader::GRAPH_POINTS
]
Any idea how to solve ?
This is the last part of a big program and I dont know how to solve it.
Thanks
Stefan

Your post misses the < and > because codeproject thought they belong to some HTML-Tags and filtered them.
Please change your message to use the pre-tag.
Or better:
Use std::vector<GRAPH_POINTS>.
CArray is some sort of malformed older brother of the vector.
It is mostly hidden in the dark, because Microsoft is so ashamed of it. They had to invent it back when teir compiler only barely handeled templates.

You seem to have omitted some important code, or this is a VS200x-specific problem.
I compiled this with VS6 just fine:
#include <afxtempl.h>
class CTempReader
{
struct GRAPH_POINTS
{
int Temperature;
CString Date;
CString Time;
} St_Graph_Points;
struct TEMP_POINTS
{
CArray<GRAPH_POINTS, GRAPH_POINTS> TempZone;
} St_Temp_Points;
private:
CArray<GRAPH_POINTS, GRAPH_POINTS> TempZone;
};

Hi again,
I found out that these code is not the problem. The problem is the following:
TEMP_POINTS MyTempPoints;
for( int i=0; i < MaxPoints; i++ )
{
TempZone.Add( MyTempPoints );
}
Any idea why ?
Regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I think that CArray can only works with CObject. Can you try to derive youre structures like TEMP_POINTS from CObject.
But like the jhwurmbach said, you should try to use std::vector instead.
codito ergo sum

StefanRMB wrote: TempZone.Add( MyTempPoints );
Since TempZone is a member of TEMP_POINTS and CTempReader, its Add() method must be called in the context of one of them. What you've shown here does not.

You don't give line numbers, but the compiler complains that the default constructor CObject::CObject() is private (which it is not, it is protected!)
Something Fishy going on here Check Afx.h in your implementation and see if it is private there.
Hope this helps

Without knowing Yahoo's protocol, you can't reliably do this.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your suggestion. Im working with the packet according to this protocol help.
.http://libyahoo2.sourceforge.net/ymsg-9.txt[^]
I got the packet. But i can't block this.I think yahoo or TCP\IP send an acknowledgement signal before sending each and every packet or one of them calculate the check sum.So it resend the packet.
How can i do this. If you have any idea please tell me ...
Thanks in advance..

What?
Did you translate the error message from chinese?
Sorry, but your translation is incomprehensible.
Maybe you can cite the original message here and a native speaker of chinese can help you?

maybe you should... "jump over" ?
more seriously, i think you meant to say "convert the solution to a VS2005 solution", right ?

Experts,
I'm taking a course in image processing (under Homeland Security). This class was supposed to be an Analysis course; however, the teacher has been focusing heaviliy on C/C++ programming. That's a different story though...
Anyhow, I need to develop a (simple) C/C++ program that does do "something fun" with images (as it relates to Homeland Security).
This project is due in 3 weeks. The instructor isn't very helpful as far as guiding us through the process (e.g. recommendations for "manageable" projects). I have VERY limited C/C++ programming skills and I feel like I'm running out of options.
So, my question:
- where can I find some source code that relates to image processing? Obviusly, I've googled sites, but don't seem to find some existing code that I could either try to enhance or built upon. I tried sites such as Yuv408.com, CodeCogs, CoderProject, etc. Unfortunately, I don't see anything that I use given the "image processing" and "homeland security" constraints.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
skydivetom
