C++ :: Using Clear Device And Sleep Functions In Graphics
Dec 14, 2014
I have a college project which is a car racing game using C++ and the old-school graphics library BGI. After I draw the map and placed the objects(Car,obstacles,road's borders etc..)I added Sleep(); function to the function named Obstacles(); but the problem is, I can't move the car with the right&left arrows.a
Another problem,If I added a cleardevice(); command all objects disappears only the obstacles function keeps working. the Code is here:
char c;
do{
c = (char)getch();
if (c == KEY_LEFT) {
x = x - 10, x1 = x1 - 10;
} if (c == KEY_RIGHT) {
x = x + 10, x1 = x1 + 10;
[code].....
note: this is not the whole code, it's only a small portion of it, not a debugging question only need a hint how to fix it.

In this project I need to develop few functions to work with graphics card. I work in minix and this is pretty rubbish.
I'm having an hard time to read a pixel map, or atleast to print it on my main function.
I have a read_xpm function, which is given, therefore, working.
Code:
char *read_xpm(char *map[], int *wd, int *ht)
Then I have a pixmap.h file which gives some examples of pixmap images that I can use as example:
Code:
static char *pic1[] = {
"32 13 4",
". 0",
"x 2",
"o 14",
"+ 4",
[Code] ....
The doubt is. I have a test_xpm function and I need to call this char array but this is so many pointers that I can't even figure out where I'm pointed to (?)
Code: int test_xpm(unsigned short xi, unsigned short yi, char *xpm[])
I tried something like read_xpm(xi, yi, *xpm[0]); but I'm guessing I need to index that array and run all those chars in order to show them.

How can you get a monitor out of sleep mode in c#?
I tried the following, but then the monitor wakes up and falls back to sleep mode immediately.
Code:
uint SC_MONITORPOWER = 0xF170;
uint WM_SYSCOMMAND = 0x0112;
SendMessage(this.Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND,
(IntPtr)SC_MONITORPOWER, (IntPtr)(-1));

I need to be able to sound an alarm (a beep) for 10 seconds in C.this beep has to mirror a sleep period, before the code loops back to the beginning. Now I've got the loop sorted and I can make it beep and sleep, however the beep follows 10 seconds after the sleep..Both the beep and the sleep need to happen at the same time..

Make an "analog clock" that is, a clock with hands that move. You get the time of day from the operating system through a library call. A major part of this exercise is to find the functions that give you the time of day and a way of waiting for a short period of time (e.g., a second for a clock tick) and to learn to use them based on the documentation you found. Hint: clock(), sleep().
OK, I wrote below code. It is in its primary stages and has not been completed yet.
#include <GUI.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace Graph_lib;
[Code] .....
I expect the system in void clock_hands() (line 38) attaches hour1 (line 41) then waits for 1000 ms (using Sleep(1000)) then detaches hour1 and attaches hour2 this time. But it doesn't occur in practice. When the system reaches Sleep(1000); it seems to go into a comma! It doesn't show the hour1 so seeing the movement of clock ticks by the clock's hands will not be possible.

I run the following API to put Windows XP SP3 into sleep (or standby mode) from a worker thread:
Code:
BOOL bForced = TRUE;
SetSuspendState(FALSE, bForced, FALSE);
Then in the main thread, while processing window messages:
Code:
LRESULT WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
if(message == WM_POWERBROADCAST) {
if(wParam == PBT_APMSUSPEND) {
AddLogMsg(_T("SUSPEND event received"));
[Code] ....
So when SetSuspendState is called with request for a 'forced' sleep mode, the PBT_APMSUSPEND notification is never broadcast. Only if I set forced parameter to FALSE I receive it.
PBT_APMRESUMEAUTOMATIC is received in either case.
PBT_APMSUSPEND is always received when run on Windows Vista/7.

I have two problems with the code below:
1. I cannot find a header file to #include that has the sleep function prototype.
2. When I add my own sleep function prototype, I get an unresolved external reference error (for _sleep, not sleep).
What must I #include to get the sleep function prototype? What lib must I include in the linker configuration to resolve the external reference? (I suspect that if I #include the correct header file, the second question might become moot.)
The "man page" at [URL] .... says the header file is <WinBase.h>. But #include'g only <WinBase.h> results in compilation errors.
A response marked "answer" at [URL] ..... says <windows.h> [sic]. #Include'g only <Windows.h> does eliminate the compilation errors.
But apparently that does not bring in the sleep function prototype. Neither does also subsequently #include'g <WinBase.h>. (Which seems to be #include'd by <Windows.h> anyway.)
But even with my own function prototype shown below, I get an unresolved external reference for _sleep. Is that a symptom of my problem: my sleep reference is changed to _sleep? If so, how can avoid that?
According to "man page" (see link above), the external should be resolve in kernel32.lib. And kernel32.lib does appear in the "Additional Dependencies" list under Configuration Properties Linker Input.
Since I am not using C++ features, I tried setting "Compile as C" under Configuration Properties C/C++ Advanced, to no avail.
My code....
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <Windows.h>
void sleep(DWORD msec); // added later
int _tmain(int argc, char* argv[])

I'm developing a short c++ program to scan all devices connected to the system through the USB connections.
I have used libusb to scan them and it really works but this library does not provide me with the mounting point, so I get a list of devices including manufacturer, serial number, etc but not the mounting point.
I have also used libudev library but it seems to happen something similar...
I need to get the mounting point for all USB devices connected to the board, you know: /dev/ttyUSB0 ....

I am supposed to write a C program to send through USB interface to the analog device AD9914. Now I am doing the USB interface part where my computer has to detect the AD when it is plugged in and send the signals to it. I have to write the program to detect the device when it is plugged in. What kind of functions can I use? I know that the registry stores the device when it is plugged in. What functions are available to read?

I am looking to retrieve data from a USB device, this device is a fingerprint scanner. Because I bought it online and wasn't reading carefully enough, drivers and other installation programs weren't included. Send it back? Nah . . .
I want to see if it is possible to retrieve data from this device. To be honest, I don't even know if it's possible, but I would love to give it a whack.
I looked into making INF files and things Microsoft has put out, but I honestly don't know where to start simply because I have absolutely no experience doing this. I have a program set up to organize the data and such, I just need to find a way to actually get it.
What should I research and look into? Are drivers necessary?
Here is a little more information :-)
I want to save data from a fingerprint scanner.I bought a fingerprint scanner, but nothing came with it (drivers, software, etc.). I decided to not return it and see what fun I could have.
I have no code written up yet (mainly because I don't know where to start). But I looked into the device a little...Microsoft recognizes it as a "Fingerprint Scanner" but is still considered unrecognized.I have the USB identifier (at work right now, don't have it on hand)...
Is it even possible to communicate with the device without the initial drivers.Do I really need drivers for the device, or can I communicate with it as it is now.If I do need drivers, where should I start?What should I look into to get communicating with the device?

What I want to do is abstract and model a device (more specifically in this case, an IMU) in an embedded system.
Now, there are a couple of gotchas:
- It is basically a framework, which means that it should work with any device, any platform and any bus.
- It is an embedded system, so power consumption and memory consumption must be reduced. It is not a PC.
- It cannot be too complex, because I fear that will just make people scrap it and rewrite it from scratch :P
- It should aim for as little code as possible to write the whole model, of course. Adding 100 lines of code for each register would be a bummer.
That said, I must also model the current system, which means that the current platform, the current bus (which is I2C) and the specific IMU model (I have a datasheet).
So the model I am thinking of currently is this:
First, I have a platform. It will know what bus a device is connected on and contains the buses (or specifically, the instances of the buses). It consists of a specific class for each platform and a base. Here are the two I have now:
Code:
namespace Sensors
{
template<typename Platform_t> class GPS;
}
namespace Platforms
{
class RaspberryPi: public PlatformBase
[Code]....
Currently I am making the assumption that all platforms will have an I2c bus and UART bus, but I'm not sure about that. We have only one platform ATM, though, so for now this holds. I'm guessing I might have to move it to the specific platforms later and get rid of PlatformBase.GetI2CBus is a problematic one related to registers, but I'll get back to that.
UART is simple to model since it's just a block read and write, so:
Code:
namespace Buses
{
class UART
{
public:
UART(const std::string& UARTPath): m_Open(false), m_PathToUART(UARTPath) {}
[Code]....
I'm probably going to handle all errors through exceptions. So if I can't open the UART bus, I'll throw an exception.
The I2C bus is a problem. I have a model which deals with it on a register-based level, but ideally I'd like to be able to model and use the devices on the I2C bus on a flag-based level (ie, I have names for each individual flag in the registers which I can read or write to directly instead of writing a hexadecimal value directly to each register).
Here is code:
Code:
namespace Buses {
template<unsigned int Id>
class I2CDevice {
public:
I2CDevice(I2C& Bus): m_Bus(Bus) {}
template<typename T>
[Code]....
So I2CDevice does some checks to see that the data to write to a register is either 8 or 16 bits. It does not check that the size to write matches the register's size, but another class does not.
The idea is also that it checks which device is currently active on the bus, and if it's not the current I2CDevice, then it simply selects that before attempting to read or write (the Open call).
This is not meant for multi-threaded environments. Yet, anyway.
The Impl2::Read/Write just dispatches the call so it calls the correct function for writing and reading the correct size, depending on the size of the data.
This is all well and good, but I2C works with registers, so of course I want a class to model a register which I can read and write to directly. It must tie into the bus class since the bus class is the one that abstracts reads and writes on the bus.
The register class looks like:
Code:
template<unsigned int Bits, unsigned int RegisterId, typename Bus_t>
class Register {
public:
typedef typename Impl::RegisterBase<Bits>::Storage_t Storage_t;
static_assert(!std::is_same<Bus_t, Buses::UART>::value, "Cannot read and write registers on the UART bus.");
static_assert(Bits == 8 || Bits == 16 || Bits == 32 || Bits == 64, "Number of bits must be 8, 16, 32 or 64.");
auto Write(Storage_t Data) -> void
[Code]....
I think this explains itself, except for the Regs struct, which is an experiment by me to enable myself to access registers via Regs.Config, etc.
What is missing is the ability to access and read/write the individual bits inside the registers. I am thinking a two-way access, where you can write to individual bits, but must call .Write() to commit the write to the register for efficiency.
I haven't actually written this. I don't know a good way ATM. I don't want to add a lot of variables and a write function because that would use 1 byte for every bit which is unacceptable.
I don't want to add a lot of code to make it work, either. A good get/set class would be nice, but I can't see that working. The register must store all state and any subsequent classes must not store any state or overhead will increase.
Finally, yes, I know a lot is incomplete and untested. It probably won't even compile. But that is for later. First is finishing the model.
It would be nice if things such as the platform and buses could be made static because there will only be one instance at any time, and that would save overhead if I don't have to store objects or references to them, but I haven't figured out how to achieve this.

I am trying to fetch data from the USB device(say pendrive) connected to the USB port of a system. I have attached code.c file which I have wriiten for the same purpose, please find it. Here I am able to open the device file and read some random raw data which is in the log.txt file (also attached to this mail). But I want it to fetch data like minicom/teraterm does.
What methods and libraries I can use to do it successfully and how can it be done.

Write code to do the following:
1) declare a variable ptr as a pointer to int and initialize it to NULL
2) dynamically allocate memory for an array of 100 elements
3) read 100 elements from the standard input device and store them in the array.
This is what I have so far, I'd like to know if its ok or if something is wrong.
int *ptr = NULL;
ptr = new int[100];
cin >> dataPtr [arr];

I'm using a uC to read the device ID from a One Wire device. I'm trying to have the ID read every second and output to over a USART serial stream for debugging, however I'm having a number of problems getting this to work correctly and I think it has to do with my misunderstanding of memory allocation in this case.
The problem is that when I upload the binary to the uC, it gets the device ID correctly the first time, and from thereafter the program is unstable and starts returning garbage (1st screenshot).
Ideally everything inside of the while loop would be inside of its own function, however I have had nothing but trouble doing that. In fact, when I put that all into it's own function that returns void and takes BUSES as an input, the correct data comes out the first and therefore it somehow exits the "while" loop and never gets back in (2nd screenshot). Another thing I noticed is that when I put the variable declaration outside of the while loop in the code below, I get the same behavior.
I haven't include the code for OWI_DetectPresence and OWI_SendByte ... I've hooked up an oscilloscope and have visually confirmed they are working correctly. Once the OWI_ROM_READ byte is sent over the bus the slave responds with it's device ID. I feel like my issue here is memory allocation and not hardware.
how to fix the issue with the output to USART and how to make this into a function that returns the string of the hex ID?
Code:
int main(void) {
unsigned char OWI_on_bus = FALSE;
// initialize UART for debugging
Init_USART();
[Code].....

I need to render content of CRichEditCtrl on device context of some CWnd. This code works ok:
Code:
CDC *dc = wnd->GetDC();
CRect cr;
wnd->GetClientRect( &cr );
dc->Rectangle(cr);
cr.right *= 15;
cr.bottom *= 15;
[Code] ...
The problem is that I want to scale the output. I was trying to send message to my control before blitting:
SendMessage( EM_SETZOOM, numer, denom ).
It scaled the control itself, but the blitted context was still the same size as original content CRichEditCtrl (befeoe scaling). Is there any way to blit/render scaled content of CRichEditCtrl to any device context (screen/paper) ?

int nSCPCount;
CString strIMEI;
std::map<UINT8, int> mapSection;
}RISCPSt;
map<stRncCellIdntyDmnType, RISCPSt>m_mapRISCP;
it occupied too much memory,i wanted to clear them(both outer map and inner map) ,some one told me you just need to call m_mapRISCP.clear(),then the mapSection (inner map) will be cleared automaticly,in other words, m_mapRISCP.clear() will clear both outer map and inner map.

I have a one simple question :D. I want to output to the console some symbols. Let's say that i have a loop.
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) cou << "* ";
Then I want to output other symbols but I want to overwrite the previous symbols. I know I can use system("cls"); but it blinks if I try to output the same characters. For example if I have:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) cou << "* ";
system("cls");
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) cou << "* ";
After I run this code the first loop outputs ten "*". Then there is a blink and there are again ten "*" shown. How can I avoid this blink?

Is there any way I can clear only a selected part of the screen? (I'm aware of system("cls"))
For example, when you enter a date, and is wrong, could it just errase that input and only say "Wrong try again" without errasing everything else you where doing?
In this case, a function that only errases what is in the while
while(not wrong)
{
cout<<"DIA: ";
cin>>obj.dia;
cout<<"MES: ";
cin>>obj.mes;
cout<<"ANIO: ";
cin>>obj.anio;
}
PS: Also, is there any whay in which you can ask the user to enter the date DD/MM/YYY?
