Yuw,
Just want to ask what darkbasic version is the best for me.
I basicaly want to use it for a school project:
I made a fully working domotics system for a school project, using a 3d model and a real working model to show to the jury.
I want to rebuild the whole system so i can integrate it in our house. It would be cool tho
Can darkbasic classic or pro control a serial, usb and the parallel port.
Example: I have a switch on the 3d model. When it has been triggered, it must send a signal to my serial port. My domotics system will receive it and trigger a contactor (for those who don't know a contactor -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contactor)
Also when i press an extern button, the darkbasic program will receive the signal, and has to read it out.
Can this be done?
Here are some pics of my old domotics system

This project only works on a windows 98 system. Ofcourse it must work onto a XP system too. Maybe with darkbasic
It will be powered with my own made hardware and controlled with a chungwha PPT Touch screen. Where i put a 3D model of my house on it. With the touchscreen i can select a room and view if the lights are on/off, control the radio, thermostat, etc.
