[Neel Goyal]

The libfreespace team is happy to announce libfreespace.NET 0.2

 

Changes in this release include:

-          Fixes for marshalling device name and freespace versions

-          DeltaX, DeltaY message field fixes

 

This release should be paired with libfreespace 0.4.  You can find more information and download source and binaries from https://launchpad.net/libfreespace.net

Hi Infokade,

Thanks for the question.  The libfreespace.NET v0.2 and libfreespace v0.4 are some of our older software versions, but as long as you are using the correct type of device it should work.  If you are using one of our the more recent Freespace devices (FSM-9, Scoop, etc) then these versions will not work.  Do you know what type of device you are working with?  Unfortunately libfreespace.NET v0.2 is the most recent C# library for libfreespace, so if you need to use C# then that is the latest supported version.

Libfreespace.NET is simply the C# wrapper that works with a standard Libfreespace library.  This means that you need to get a support Libfreespace.dll binary for use with Libfreespace.NET.  For Libfreespace.NET v0.2, you need to get libfreespace v0.4 (you can download the source or prebuilt binaries from https://launchpad.net/libfreespace/0.4)

Libfreespace.NET v0.2 is supported by VS2005.  You can find further details including build instructions in the README.txt that is included with the source.  You can also view the file directly at this link (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~libfreespace-devteam/libfreespace.net/0.2/view/head:/README.txt)

Thanks,

Hi Dear Merrill

thank u very much .

MY Device is FSM-9. 

plz help me because i dont know  Visual C++ and need to use RREAD from this Device .

would  u plz  tell me step by step that what can i do  to run libfreespace v0.7?

i Run it but have several Errors. i am so confuse .plz help

Hello Infokade,

Can you describe what errors you are seeing?

The libfreespace-examples are very good resources to see how to basic tasks with libfreespace including reading motion data, configuring the module, etc.  I would recommend starting there.  You can download the source and pre-built binaries of the examples from our download page on the libfreespace home page.

Thanks,

Hi Infokade,

Please provide more details about the specific software that you are using to generate that error.

The FSM-9 supports the libfreespace-examples out of the box.  The README provides step by step instructions for the build process, so please follow that closely.  Also pay attention to the Required Tools section for libfreespace and libfreespace-examples as the build will not work without the required tools.

Thanks,

Hi Merril

thank u very much for ur answer.

there are some thing  that i tell u :

the first one and important one is that i can test my FSM-9 with libfreespace-examples ( i mean only testint with EXE files) but i cant RUN the Source files,

and the second one is : i used Visual Studio 2010 for running the files.

would u plz tell me  the steps that i must do to run libfreespace with visual studio 2010?

Hello Infokade,

Please see the README files in the libfreespace and libfreespace-example source packages.  They provide step by step instructions for building libfreespace and the examples in Visual Studio 2010.  Thanks.
