• Serializer Services QuickStart Guide
• SerializerLite Services Visual Studio 2005 Solution v1.0 - C# (Windows CE) (52 kB zip file)
  
  The SerializerLite service is a subset of the SerializerServices, combined into one service.
  
  This was done to improve performance for orchestration services running under Windows CE (on the eBox-2300).
  
  The SerializerLite service contains Serializer Robot Controller functionality for PID Motor control, Line Following sensor querying, GPIO querying and control, and Wheel encoder querying. Other functionality can easily be added as needed from the superset of Serializer Services available.
  
  This solution is also included in the WERoC services solution below.

Windows Embedded Robotic Challenge (WERoC) Applications

The Windows Embedded Robotic Challenge (WERoC) is a collaboration between RoboticsConnection, Microsoft, ICOP Technology, and James. Y. Wilson. The purpose is to provide a fun and interesting way to educate and motivate students regarding Windows CE application development.

The premise of the challenge is to develop an application that can solve a maze in the shortest amount of time. The application is MSRS based, and runs under Windows CE 6.0 on the ICOP eBox-2300/4300), using RoboticsConnection robotic hardware.






Students will learn how to:

• Develop a Windows CE 6.0 Image and deploy it
• Develop an MSRS line following/maze solving service
• MSRS service deployment to a Windows CE 6.0 device
• Basic vision algorithms for recognizing shapes using USB WebCam (not available just yet)
• System integration and debugging

Line Following Arena

Below are some links to a few initial Line Following and Maze arenas both in PDF, and Visio formats. These images can be printed full size at any Kinko's facility, and bonded (via spray adhesive) to foam core board to create a very easy to use test arena.
