Communication
Hello all,
Forgive the vague nature of this post. Please. But, I'm looking over some documentation for the javacomm API, and have found that jUSB isn't supported in Windows. Fair enough. However, as an electronics hobbyist (albeit somewhat poor), I do want to make various ports on my PC act as dialable DC power supplies, oscilloscopes, and function generators. Is there any way to do this using Java, or should I look into something else; like VB or C++ (and dealing with that particular nightmare), or just spend the $3K or so to get LabView and an NI DAQ board. Does anyone do this, or have any advice?
Ideally, I'd like to use my sound card as a function generator/oscilloscope, and my USB port(s) as a power supply. I know Java has made some advancements in this, but I don't know if it's appropriate here.
Anything (not smarmy) is appreciated.
Thanks!
