Connect to IoT devices
Connection to IoT Devices
-
irBoard can now connect not only to PLCs but also to IoT devices.
By using the
The ESP32 device can be communicated with by irBoard through the use of the
"irBoard Library for ESP32".
, you can connect to devices that use the ESP32 microcontroller.
-
LadderDrive
is a virtual PLC that operates on devices like the Raspberry Pi. When this PLC is running, you can connect irBoard to it and use it as a touch panel for devices configured with the Raspberry Pi.
Connection to Windows Applications
- When building a system to integrate Windows applications with tablets, development on the tablet side is typically required. However, by using irBoard, you can avoid the need for tablet-side programming and reduce development costs.
-
The
irBoard.NET
library is available as open-source, and by integrating this library into .NET applications, you can easily connect to them.
- Using irBoard.NET as a reference, porting to other languages and environments may also become possible.
