For those of you needing to enable both serial ports (COM1 and COM2) on the eBox-2300, you'll need to follow these steps.- From embeddedpc.net, under the BSP section, download the ICOP_Vortex86_60CS_BSP.msi, and install it on your development PC. This will install the latest Vortex86 Win CE Board Support Package (BSP) with the serial ports both enabled.
- Open your OS image solution within Visual Studio 2005.
- Under the Catalog Items View, expand "Third Party->BSP" folder, and then ensure that the ICOP_Vortex86_60CS:X86 BSP is selected as shown below.
- Rebuild and deploy your image per the eBox-2300 Jump Start Guide

| Since you have an eBox, I would develop an C# managed application that runs on it, which opens two serial ports (COM1 and COM2), where COM1 is connected to the Serializer to control motors/query sensors, and COM2 is connected to the CMUcam2+ (via a serial interface connector!). Your app running on the eBox can then analyze images captured from the CMUcam2+, and generate commands to send to the Serializer to drive the motors. You could pretty simply set up an application that causes the robot to drive around following a color blob (e.g. red ball). I'm working on our Example Robotic Applications section, and this will be a good example to add. However, it might be 3+ weeks away.  If you want to drive your robot around w/ a joystick, you'd want to write an app that runs on the PC to read the joystick (via DirectInput), generate motor commands, and sends them to the Serializer via a Bluetooth connection. We've done this many times w/ managed apps and also with our SerializerServices (see TraxsterDriveApp). Best Regards!

WE DID IT WE MADE IT WORK WITH PC BUT WE ARE TRYING TO DEPLOY ON EBOX AND WE WANT TO USE JOYSTIC(USB) AND CONTROL TRAXSTER KIT CAN I WISH SOMTHN? IN YOUR EXAMPLES THEY ARE JUST WORKING ON PC BUT WE DONT KNOW HOW TO DEPLOY IT ON EBOX 2300 AND HOW TO CONTROL ON EBOX WE CAN CONTROL IT PC+TRAXSTER BUT WE WANT TO USE EBOX NOT PC AND I THINK WE HAVE TO BUILD AN IMAGE INCLUDING CMUCAM 2+ DRİVER AND JOYSTİC WİTH ENABLEB COM PORT
WE ARE USING RS232 SERİAL PORT SERİALZER AND WE WANT TO TAKE PHOTO FROM CMUCAM AND PROCESS ON EBOX is it possible? because cmucam'S display is realy bad we want to develop an applicatiıon which works autonomous (slalom) how can we do it can u describe me smthng with that we all did ur apllications but they are workıng on pc+traxster but we want to use that on ebox we dont know how to do tthat on ebox we can just built "nk.bin " which is the same on your jumpstart guide how can we do that and how can we make our projects works ojn ebox (embedded ce 6) thnx from now

| Just to clarify, you use Platform Builder to create a CE OS image. The eBox-2300 comes with a copy of Platform Builder, which is a plugin into Visual Studio. If you follow the eBox-2300 Jump Start Guide, you will learn how to build a CE OS Image for your eBox. Once you get that working, you can create a new Visual Studio project based on a Windows CE 5.0 Smart Device, which can be a Console app, or Windows Form app. You then deploy this application to the eBox (again see Jump Start guide for instructions on doing this). Within your CE application, you can use two serial ports. One for the Serializer (just use the Serializer .NET Library), and one for the CMUcam2+ (we don't have a library for this yet, so you will open up a COM port, and send CMUcam2+ protocol commands, and receive the responses). It's up to you to add logic to your application to make your robot do what you want. The CMUcam2+ is in no way related to the CE OS image, and no driver exists for it. You have to communicate w/ the CMUcam2+ via your application (as mentioned above). Best Regards!
