How to trigger an event using Delphi

Post by Pendragon192 »

Hello everyone,

I want to create a control program for my home cinema using an old touch screen computer. Therefore, I bought the IR toy from dangerous prototypes (http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/USB_Infrared_Toy) and installed WinLirc to send and receive the signals. Then I used EventGhost with the Lirc plugin to control the IRtoy. That works so far.
Now I want to write a Delphi program, because I also want to control a USB interface board. With this two components I want to realize feature like pressing the stop button in my delphi program and then the BD player gets the stop signal over Eventghost and the IRtoy and the room lights are activated via the USB board.

The problem is, I don't know how to trigger events in EventGhost with my delphi program. It would be nice, if anyone has an idea how to get this combination working.

Thank you.

Greetings,
Pendragon

What about using socket communication (TCP/UDP)? For sure this is supported by Delphi? In EventGhost you alredy have plugins included that can receive TCP and UPD messages and then your event is there for you.

But why Delphi? Python also supports communication with USB devices
