Device plugin for m-cubed T-balancer help needed.

Post by raptor_demon »

Hi,
I was going through my computer parts the other day and found i have a T-balancer board.

Basically this thing is a temperature and fan controller for a pc.

I was thinking i could probably interface to this and use it to get room tempratures.

Could someone point me in the right direction as how to start this plugin?

thanks

If you go to the 'download' section of the main HouseBot site, you will find the C/C++ SDKs for creating devices and hardware interfaces. If you are able to write C/C++ code, there should be enough there to get you started.

There is also a .net device SDK floating around somewhere that you may be able to use.

To fit perfectly in the architecture, you would create a hardware interface plugin that communicates with the board, and then 1 or more device plugins that communicate with the hardware interface.

If you get started, I can answer more specific questions as they come up.
