Title: PC Emulator
Post by: vdc on August 02, 2024, 10:36:28 PM
Hi,

Is there a guide available for using bt8xxemu.dll? I am looking to build a PC emulator using Visual Studio with C/C#. My goal is to create a GUI emulator on a PC with two windows: one for the EVE Emulator Display and another that allows configuration changes to the EVE Emulator Display by sending all command APIs. I want to be able to reuse the code on an MCU. Unfortunately, "EVE Screen Designer" is not an option for me as I find it quite confusing. A guide specifically for using Visual Studio with C/C# would be really helpful.

Best regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

A user guide is available for the emulator, but please note this version relates to an older version of our HAL library:
AN_281 FT8xx Emulator Library User Guide (https://brtchip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/10/AN_281_FT800_Emulator_Library_User_Guide.pdf)

For the current version of our HAL library you can have a look at our standard Visual Studio examples which can be ran in emulator mode:
EVEApps (https://brtchip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/10/AN_281_FT800_Emulator_Library_User_Guide.pdf)

Finally please have a look at our programmers guide for reference to drawing commands used to generate a screen:
BT81x Series Programming Guide  (https://brtchip.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/BRT_AN_033_BT81X-Series-Programming-Guide.pdf)

Please let us know if you have any questions.
