SDK (Software Developer's Kit)

The VideoRay SDK (Software Development Kit) allows for the modification and enhancement of the VideoRay Pro 4. The SDK is divided into two major categories: the Host SDK and the Embedded SDK.

The Host SDK, written in C# and consisting of several .DLL's allows for the creation of applications running on a host computer to control the ROV. The Host SDK also provides facilities for enhancing and extending VideoRay Cockpit, the standard control software, through the use of a plug-in architecture. The recommended development environment is Microsoft Visual Studio/C#, however the SDK can be used from any .NET language.

The Embedded SDK, written in GNU C, can be used to develop firmware to run on directly VideoRay hardware. Currently two hardware platforms are supported, the Pro 4 and the PAM (Protocol Adapter and Multiplexer) module.

All higher level protocols (communications, memory maps, bootloader, etc.) are fully and openly documented.

Auto-generated documentation is provided for both the Host SDK and the Embedded SDK.
