The plan that i have come up with, is that i am currently in the process of building a Tesla coil, and would like it to be 100% USB controlled, however, in case i mess up ( =p ) i don't want to be anywhere near the controlling computer, so here is the setup:
I Have An Old Dell Computer 800mhz processor - 256mb Ram running tinyxp, which will soon be wireless networked. . . that is going to have a "USBThingie" USB DI/O control board which will switch my relays, and then at my main control station will be my laptop with a wireless router on an ad-hoc network with the other computer. . .
What i want to be able to do is have some host software that i make be running on the Dell, which will be the main code to control my USBThingie, and then on my laptop have a remote control code to control the code on the Dell, however, i am not sure how i would go about doing this.
I have looked into this for a while now with no success. out or lead me in the right direction. I am trying to control my application from an apache web server either locally or remotely.
I have 2 devices An old IPAQ Pocket PC that runs Windows Mobile 4.2 A Mini-ITX PC Running XP
My IPAQ connects to my network via wireless. My Mini-ITX PC is going to have an IR-Blaster setup which is going to control all my devices. What I would like to do is create a small controller program that runs on my IPAQ and a back end program on my Mini-ITX PC, so that when a particular control is selected on my IPAQ it sends the signal to my program on the Mini-ITX PC which inturns sends the correct IR signal to the device in question.
I need to have a PC talk to a Mac (apple) over a network (or alternately the internet, SSH, whatever works) in such a way as to open a shell window on the Mac to execute a number of commands to have it talk to a UNIX box and transfer files from a device attached to the Mac to the UNIX box where it can then be accessed later on in an shared area (SAMBA) by the PC.
The Mac has a fixed IP and I can have it configured to open the appropriate ports, but I would like to minimize any potential security issues.
Part of the reason why is the copy time is significantly lower. Copying from the PC to the shared area takes over 90 minutes vs about 10 for the Mac. No doubt this has to do in part to translation and network overhead.
my problem is how to get the Teletext Buttons on my media Remote control (RC118 from Maplins) which are the RED,GREEN,YELLOW and BLUE to be recognized by my program. I have little code so far, just a timer, which checks every millisecond for anything I don't know where to go though, below is what I have:
I have a webbrowser control on a form and try to navigate to one specific site. It seems to me that the remote detects that call is from a desktop program and redirect it. Is it possible? and if it is how I can hide it.
I need some pointers on which .NET technology to use for a project I'm working on. I'm building a "dashboard" digital signage WPF program that will display various things on a large monitor mounted high up in the ceiling of my office.What I need to be able to do is control certain aspects of this program from my desktop. For example, there will be a TV window in the application with signal being provided by a TV tuner on the mini-computer connected to the monitor in the ceiling. What I want to be able to do is make a remote control to be able to change the channel etc. I'm confused at what technology to use. I've read about remoting, WCF, and simple TCPclient classes but I'm confused at which one would be better. I'm thinking it may be better to use WCF because what I think I need to do is make a function that will change the channel and accept channel numbers, etc from the remote control program. Am I on the right path?
I will control it with a Microsoft MCE eHome IR-Remote Control. I can Capture all Buttons on the KeyEvents but the important Keys whant work ( Play, Pause, Forward, Backward ) Can anyone tell me how i can Capture this keys ?[code]...
I am a new member here and a new user of VB.Net.So, I would like to know how to make an application that can control the processes and the services in a remote machine.
I'm developing a remote control program that uses a mysql database as the bound beetween the server and the client.The only problem is that cause of mysql being really varnuable to crashes i made it in a way that it checks for information every 10 seconds so things doesnt get messy. [code] For some reason after 10 seconds the connection is mysteriously aborted and the reader gives a fatal error.How can i extend the time limit to >10 seconds ?
Rather than use an Entry name of an existing VPN connection, is it possible to connect to a remote network by creating a temporary connection on the fly by using the remote IP/Host name, username and password?
I want to do a small application that made the broadcast of images from a PC. The idea is to make an application of remote management but without the management part, only with the viewing of images. Anyone know any code already done or any API that helps in the project?
is it possible to create application for my mobile phone Sony Ericsson to remote control my program using Bluetooth connection which have simple functions?I have came across one program that is able to do that which is floAt's Mobile Agent. It can control from media player, powerpoint slides and even mouse cursor movement.
I am trying to communicate with a Windows service on a remote machine on the network but i keep getting an exception saying the following: "System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer 'machine001'. This operation might require other priviledges. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied.
I'm trying to develop a windows application where i can get connected to remote server and look for process state going in remote server.We have many remote servers where automatic installation of software going on. We have an xml file(installstatus.xml) where it tells us at what stage the installation is (Example : Inprogress , Completed, Failed.)
So our aim is to develop a windows application where i can get connected to that servers and look for their installation status(may be we can use installstatus.xml to look for installation status). Every time i connect to a server, the server information should get stored in XML file(i want to create a xml file where all the servers list i connect to should get stored)
The UI at left side should will have list of servers i can connect to. When i get connected to server, at right side of UI, i want to display the status of installation (In progress, failed , completed).
Here's my situation: I have a control with motion graphics (for the sake of simplicity, a 'video player' control) in my project. Think of a PictureBox with constantly-changing images. In front of this will sit a second control (such as a second PictureBox of the same dimensions). The topmost PictureBox will be drawn to in its Paint event.
I need to draw very few elements, and the bottom control is updated much more frequently than I need for this drawing. So these elements are drawn to the topmost control. Think of a news broadcast, where they have live video in the background, with a news channel logo, news ticker, and sometimes gradient visible in front.
I'm trying to create that 'foreground' control, and the closest I believe I have gotten so far is the following:
The 'Opacity' property in the code above is a sort of "scaling factor." The image drawn to the top control may, in different parts of the image, have any alpha value from full transparent to a full 255. This 'Opacity' property is applied to the entire image being drawn, scaling the alpha values of each pixel.
I have a VB.Net application that I wrote and want to run it from a remote computer. It runs fine on both computers but not visible on the remote's screen. The program is in the task bar and can be run or closed remotely. Just can't see the GUI
I work for a company in the IT department. I want to gather data from the PC's in my company on the Domain. I want to gather info such as Installed apps, type of computer, Display adapter, nic card, ram, hard disk, cpu speed, OS, SP, installed printers both locally and network printer installed on the PC. There are also a couple of thing in the registry I want to grab that tell me when the PC was installed and what Image we used to installed it. I want the program to say all that. Another thing I wanted was to show the current user who is logged in and what groups they are in from the Domain and also when his password expires. I really like the way Max_carpenter does his and I wanted to add these options to his.
I'm trying to get the remote endpoint when receiving data over UDP. But it seems to not be working. I know that when sending UDP, the remote ip and port are part of the packet, but I don't know how to get that information with .net.
Updates.client.remoteendpoint.tostring does not work. Sub StartServer() Updates = New UdpClient(5602, AddressFamily.InterNetwork)
My goal is to getting the mac address of the remote ip which is connected with my pc.i can get mac of remote ip which is on local network but i want it on wan.,over the internet.
