For a while, I was working with a guy in Spain (I'm in the United States) on a driver for his Hercules Steel. We were both on IRC, he ran a userspace program that interfaced with his controller with a TCP connection. I was able to ask him to hit buttons or slide controls over IRC, and the output came to me on the TCP connection. I could also send commands to the control over that same TCP connection, to try turning on lights or whatnot.
Eventually he disappeared, and Guillemot sent me a Steel. But we were making headway using this method, and I suspect I'll be using it again in the future to help getting all the Hercules controllers working in Linux without a driver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
