Standard devices

Standard peripherals exist (depending on the machine and the system):
       mouse
       audio
They can be redefined by:
device(id)type("MOU"): associates the mouse to the id device id.
device(id)type("AUD")dim(n): associates the audio signal to the id device id.
device(id)type("SOR")dim(n): associates the fft audio to the id device id.

Sensors

Sensors are associated with various inputs (intertrax, polhemus, webcam, ...).
datas are vectors of various sizes.
Drivers must be programmed using:
       files written by the driver see FIC
       shared memory, see an example in WebCam.c.
       socketsUDP, see an example in device_UDP_serveur.func et device_UDP_client.func.
       socketsTCP

device(id)type("LIR") name("fic")dim(n)

        fic file containing n characters is associated with the device id.
var perip(id) returns the contents of the file ascii fic.
a driver permanently writes ascii values in the file fic.
Note: this type of device can not be known by its number (since his name assignes the file read).
See device_READ.js that launches 2 anyflos running functions respectively device_READ_1.func is the server and the client is device_READ_2.func.

device(id_device)type("IMA")

       Definition of a device type image.

     Accept
     Quitter
You can also read it with the shared memory:
device(id)type("MEM") number(p)
It took first launch the driver itrax_mem2.exe

dim=n1,n2: size n1=size of buffer server (14401 = 4*120*120+1 default) and n2=size of buffer client (100 default).
simple: direct communication protocol anyflo off, the server writes characters directly in shared memory, the client reads directly in one place see How to exchange information between a C program and anyflo.

First example :
Click on shared_memory.js
This java script java launches for anyflos.
In the top left window the server is running:
       it captures the mouse positions and sends them to clients.
In windows right two clients are running, They recover the position sent by the server and use it to position volumes.
in the lower left window a help is running.
Operation:
Move the mouse in the server window.
       We then see the volumes in the client windows take the same positions.
Codes are in:
       env/shared_memory_serveur.func.
       env/shared_memory_client1.func.
       env/shared_memory_client2.func.
       env/shared_memory_help.func.

Second example :
Click on audio_memory.js
This java script java launches two anyflos.
In the top left window the server is running:
       it captures the audio max and sends them to clients.
In window bellow one client is running, Ir recovers the value sent by the server and use it to position volumes.
Operation:
Speak in the micro.
       We then see the volumes in the client windows move.
Codes are in:
       env/audio_server.func.
       env/audio_client.func.
