Control external

Hi ImageJ and Java experts!

I´m extremely new using ImageJ and programming

I have no idea if it is possible to control external devices through ImageJ or Java software

In other words, I need to turn on an external electrical motor if the image has specific characteristics
I hope you understood me, if not , please tell me

Any help is really appreciated

if there is serial controller attached to it, you could use IJserial (http://www.eslide.net/ijstage.php

Hi Cristobal,

generally, everything that can be controlled from Java, can be controlled
from ImageJ.

As Java originally was conceived totally HW independent, it has some
problems
controlling unusual hardware, so it depends:

What is the interface through that you are working (serial, USB, PCI-card
etc.)?

Speed you require (s, ms, µs, ns)?

Native OS DLLs rep. shared libraries can be called, but this likely
requires some specific wrapper
code in C++ to be written.

For simple, slow tasks (~100ms) , it seems that people had success with the
Velleman USB-board

Thanks for your help Vincenzo.

Unfortunalety the computer I use doesn´t have serial port,
Actually I would prefer to work with USB because it is easier for me
to find USB ports

On the other hand, I have already checked the link you show me
and it was very helpful for me because I know other option to work with

Sincerely

Cristóbal Pérez

Thank You again

Thanks for your useful help Joachim
The interface through I want to work is USB port and I don´t need high Speed ( about ~500ms) . It is a simple application

So, I think It could be appropiated to work with Velleman USB-board.
However I have to investigate more about this USB - Board

Micro-Manager (http://micro-manager.org) has drivers for both the
Velleman K8055 and K8061 IO boards. If your camera is supported in
Micro-Manager as well, it should be straight forward to acquire
images, analyze their content and send signals to the IO board based
on the analysis.

Best,

Nico

Re: Control external

In reply to this post by CRISTOBAL PEREZ

Dear Cristobal,

I use the Velleman USB-board for a selfmade 3d laserscanner controlling 2
steppers (optional 3 stepper) and the laser switch. The USB-board is
connected via the Nanotec SMC11 boards (1/8 step mode) to the steppers.
The board is fast enough for my application but up to now the image grabbing
from the Quickcam Pro9000 is the bottle neck.

Controlling the board by Java/ImageJ is done with twusb.dll twusb.jar
http://www.wenzlaff.de/twusb.html

put twusb.jar into your Imagej plugin folder
put twusb.dll into your windows/system32 folder

all works fine also with Vista

...
import de.wenzlaff.twusb.schnittstelle.TWUsb;
import de.wenzlaff.twusb.schnittstelle.exception.TWUsbException;
...

try{
TWUsb.getInfo();
TWUsb.OpenDevice(TWUsb.ADDRESSE_0);
TWUsb.ClearDigitalChannel(TWUsb.DIGITALER_AUSGABE_KANAL_1);

...

best regards

Peter
