These services compile under RDS 2008 R2.   I believe the Serializer Services work, but I still have to fix/port a few things over on the Traxster Drive service.

www.roboticsconnection.com/multimedia/services/RoboticsConnection.zip

You need to unzip into samples\platforms and then run DssProjectMigration to fix up the path references in the project files.

I hope to have the Traxster Drive service finished in about a week, but it might be more like two weeks based on my current work load.

 this memorial day weekend I wnet ahead and installed MRDS 2008 r2 Express.

Thought I'd look into the VPL. Using my Serializer 2. with 1.5.2 firmware i am

having some difficulty. I can only get results to/from services using the

http uri links. For instance, if I try to set up a Serializer PWM Motor Service, during the DSS launch process I get a error regarding line 187 of Motor.cs.  See bottom of file.... Also, rather than the motor id's being 0 and 1, in the http uri's i can ony activate them using 1 and 2. Changing this in the VPL services settings does not help. I find a PowerScalingFactor of 1 results in proper speed of motors in http uri. I have tried different data types and data sources.

Any thoughts? tnx in advance... Don

My first guess is that the manifests are configured correctly.  The ones I provide in the Serializer Services really need to be updated, as I didn't fully understand how it worked when I wrote them.  Probably what is happening is that the services are pulling a configuration value from some place that you don't expect, and overriding what you think is correct.

Trevor Taylor of the MRDS team told me that they just released the latest MRDS, so I'm going to update the services, test, and launch them within a week.  So, you might want to wiat give those a try, otherwise, focus on the manifests.

Best Regards!

No rush here, I was just playing to learn. I enjoy using GUI's to demonstrate things. Makes it far easier to help others to understand the principles behind the technology when there are pretty pictures.
