I am now developing a WEC 7 device driver for Kinect. If any of you guys have any inside info on the data streams for the motor, camera and audio devices, I’d love to hear about it. It will be a great help.
Just posted an article about implementing asynchronous I/O request support in Windows Embedded Compact 7 device drivers. I guess it will take a couple of days to approve it so be patient 
.
Hi All,
Before we move on to working with Phidgets let us get one more driver installed. We will be making use of the Wi-Fi driver and using Remote Desktop application. Installation process is exactly similar to the Webcam driver installation I wrote about in the last blog.
Windows CE Wi-Fi Driver
You can download the driver from the link above. In the next blog we will work with Phidgets.
Thanks for reading.

Hi All,
Sorry couldn't post on earlier, been busy with some work anyways, one of the most discussed issues regarding Windows CE 6.0 has got to be the webcam interface so, lets have a look at what is what. There are two popular methods for doing this:
1: As described in Mike Hall's article on MSDN Mike Hall's article and
2: The open source webcam project from Codeplex written by Mr. Douglas Boling
In my project I worked with the webcam project developed by Mr.Douglas Bloing simply because its a lot easier to implement, however the only short coming in this method is that it only worked with Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000. I did try working with another model but, I did not have any luck with it.
So lets have a look at how to build a subproject to get the webcam working with windows CE 6.0.
Two components are needed to build this subproject:
1: Windows Embedded CE 6.0 USB Camera Driver
2:Windows CE 6.0 Webcam Project by Mr. D.Boling
This time around I thought of putting a lot of pictures in, instead of w ...

I won’t go into all the complicated maneuvers going on within Microsoft, but what is of interest to us is the fact that what used to be Windows Mobile 6.5 is now Windows Embedded Handheld. With Windows Phone 7 now being the smart phone platform WM has been shifted to the embedded group and is now available for mere mortals like embedded developers to create handheld devices providing a full array of connectivity capabilities. The main benefactors of this development are makers of mobile enterprise devices for presale/van sale personnel, field technicians, warehouse personnel, you got the idea. However what makes them suitable is the fact that WEH devices can be managed by the enterprise IT staff using tools like System Center Configuration Manager, Exchange Active Synch, or third party solutions, with security enforced through password enforcement, remote wipe and data encryption technologies.

I now have a rough time line for the book. It should be available around the end of June at the latest beginning of July. The device driver wizard that I mentioned in my article about the new filter drivers model that Windows Embedded Compact 7 supports will accompany the book. This will be a freeware version, while I plan to market the full blown version shortly after that.
Hi All, In this post I will talk about installing the Serializer .NET library and some features os the Serializer .NET Robot Controller developed by RoboticsConnection. The Serializer 3.0 Robot Controller provides a ready-to-use solution to interface the Microsoft™ .NET framework, or C++ applicaitons to the most common robotic hardware. Details about the board can be found here Serializer .NET Robot Controller Here is how we install the .NET library for use in the projects that involve using the Serializer .NET Robot Controller. Note: Although the board is called robot controller it can be used for much mmore than just controlling robots it can be used for numerous other application like, Motor control, Sensor interface, etc. The Serializer™ Library is based on the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework. It does not support the use of the .NET 1.1 Framework. So, here we go, Step 1:Download the Download the latest version of the Serializer™ .NET Library Installer from: Serializer .NET Library Step 2:Run the installe ...
