The VSCP helper libraries has been around for at least ten of the fourteen years of VSCPs life. But until now the library has been undocumented. Programmers hate to document and I am not an exception to that rule. But instead of programming with the aim to change the world as I should, I have spent the last week to finally test every method and make an example that work on both Linux and Windows and then documented them all. It’s dull and boring work and I found some errors which now are fixed.
OK there is more to add and more to document in this are as well. How to directly use a CANAL driver for example is not documented and there need to be more samples. Some day I will attend to that to…
For those of you that program in C++ there are three classes that can be used instead if the helper library if you prefer that. The CCanalSuperWrapper class gives a common API to both the TCP/IP and the CANAL interfaces. The CDllWrapper class on the other hand interface only the CANAL interface and VscpRemoteTcpIf class interfaces only the TCP/IP interface, Docs will follow on how to use these tools also.
Anyway the docs for the VSCP Helper library is here.
That’s all for now.

OKidoki – We did not make it this time either.

The VSCP specification is now available in a more proper on-line format again. This makes it easier to update and to maintain in this time of rapid development. The documentation for the VSCP Daemon, VSCP Works and the VSCP Helper library is now separated from the specification and have there own pages.
Here is a link to a sample that send VSCP events with node.js interfacing both another TCP/IP session and webpages connected to the websocket interface of the VSCP daemon.
The VSCP Specification is now available in a proper web-format again.

Lugn jag skojar!
Jag har ett problem. Jag håller på att jobba med en release av mitt framverk VSCP & Friends och behöver hjälp med idéer. VSCP är nämligen stort och maffigt och kan en massa saker och det kräver såklart att man sätter sig in i systemet för att kunna göra de där sakerna. Är man nu en av media och de social nätverken godkänd lösning så är det där inga problem. Folk laddar ner, installerar och läser hur man gör. Men är man mer okänd som VSCP så har man 15-minuters spärren att ta hänsyn till. Det går till såhär
Så förslag någon? Vad skall hända?
The VSCP & Friends release version 1.0.0 code name “Neon” will be out in October if all goes well. The documentation for the VSCP Daemon is available as a preview here.
From this release Windows will again be supported.
Last day to put in an application for the IDEA IoT Challenge so i put in one for the VSCP & Friends framework. Bu as soon as I send it away I ask myself “How can something that is ready to deliver today have a chance in a competition like this when everyone else just still talks about what IoT is!? Stupid of me… To late to withdraw it I suppose… 😉
But if you have an IoT idea go ahead, fill in the info.
If you have the VSCP Daemon on a Linux machine you can use the DigiTemp software to collect temperature from 1-Wire sensors. The information is logged in a file by DigiTemp ,this article describes how to make this data come to work in a modern world.
