Using PC-SDK in a multi platform C++ project

I´m developing a multi platform C++ application that needs to send Rapid code to a control like IRC5. I want to transmit the Rapid code to virtual and real controllers and receive the robots status. So far the only opportunity I found is to use the PC-SDK. But since it is .NET, it´s not platform indipendant.

My questions are: 1. Is there a possibility to program a controller without the PC-SDK 2. Is the ethernet interface of the control capable of the required features?

Thank you,

Martin

Hi Martin,

Take a look at RobotWebServices: http://developercenter.robotstudio.com/DevCenter.aspx?DevCenter=Robot_Web_Services

This is an interface that is platform independent that could contains the features you need.

If you really have to use the PC-SDK, maybe it is mono (http://www.mono-project.com/) compatible?

Thank you both very much for your answers. I think the WebService is what I was looking for. I will let you know if it worked.

Thank you Martin

Sorry for not giving a feedback, but I got it working with the QT web components. I also opened another thread for some features like getting the current position of the robot in manual mode ans so on.
Here is the link if anyone, is interested in or needs further information :wink:
