6 reasons why you should develop your app for LinuxICE

I've been working on developing a Java library (used to create a java app) for the Sirius SC-C1 that Mitch makes. I've got it ported over to Java but am having some issues with the virtual comm port communication.

It will work under Linux and Windows once the comm issues are resolved (Tested on Ubuntu, NT, XP) so I see no reason it wouldn't work on LinuxICE.

Performance wise it should be as good or better than the C# version provided by Mitch.

And it's open source, I've actually started a project on sourceforge.net. search for JSirius

Can you offer a "Design Guide" for LinuxICE apps?
How will we communicate with Ng2 and ICE-panel?

I would look them up in the links for the API docs but the don't seam to be working.

JVM is not included by default (there hasn't been a need for it yet).

Ubuntu installs Sun's JVM from the repo.

The links should work now to the docs describing the protocols for communicating with ng2 and icepanel.

you'd basically open a TCP socket connection with simple message commands.

I'll see if we can work up a design guide for how an application should act within the platform. stay tuned...

So if I wanted to use the LinuxICE setup, and my current setup uses the griffin powermate, a generic USB GPS receiver, and soundblaster USB audio, would you anticipate me having problems with compatibility?

Oh, and I use Mitch's Sirius hardware. What are the odds of that working?

USB GPS shouldn't be a problem.

As for the Powermate, there may be some tiny configuration that needs to happen. I found this: http://tomthegeek.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html. A ng2 plugin for the powermate would be a good idea if anyone was interested.

I'm not familiar with Mitch's Sirius hardware (link?). That may require some driver/plugin work to get it to run.

The driver for the SC-C1 are generic FTDI which are available for Linux.
