I'm back, after a few months...I was busy at work...
...just a little step forward in my
Glass Cockpit construction...I got the front panel: now it looks prettier, but buttons and labels are still missing...
Here are some shots about the panel in "
beta version"...
With the panel in front of the monitors, running software and positioning windows became a little more complicated.
So, I decided to write a little client/server application to run all the glass cockpit softwares and to set their position to match the holes in the panel. I wrote this application in c# language: there is a server module which runs in the glass cockpit PC and a client module which connects itself to the server through socket and sends commands to run glass cockpit software and to set their position sending x;y coordinates.
Nothing so complicated...if someone is interesting in getting a copy or the source code, please contact me by private mail.
Waiting for the next step...
