Interfacing External Hardware Using Managed Code and Microsoft Robotics Studio |
|
| Subject: |
While developers write code to build software every day, not often are they exposed to code that drives and interfaces hardware. This session will attempt to bridge that gap and show how .NET can be used to effectively interface several hardware devices, including an RFID reader and tags, Phidget control boards with a variety of sensors, and a servo controller. Additionally, Microsoft Robotics Studio will be introduced along with a demonstration showing how one can control some of the hardware previously listed in an environment where concurrency and performance are key.
