The Device Kit

The Device Kit contains software for controlling hardware that's connected to the computer.

  • A BSerialPort object represents a RS–232 serial port.

The other classes pertain to BeBox hardware only:

  • A BJoystick object represents a joystick connection to the BeBox.

  • The BA2D class is the programming interface to the GeekPort's analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and BD2A is the interface to its digital-to-analog converter (DAC).

  • The BDigitalPort class provides access to the two digital ports that are part of the GeekPort.

If you're interested in the interface to a serial port or joystick, you can turn directly to the BSerialPort or 11625: className: BJoystick class. If you're interested in a GeekPort interface, there's a small section that introduces the port and its three classes; look at it before turning to the particular class that interests you.
