Warrior ICs from Code
Mercenaries are a family of universal I/O controllers for USB that handle all
USB’s complex protocol details. No Windows software drivers are needed since
Warrior ICs appear as HID Device Class (Human Interface Device). This means that
Warrior ICs are controlled without screen-prompting for additional software -
system drivers allow access to Warrior ICs directly from application programs.
A Linux driver is also included.
Controlling Warrior ICs
from your software is very simple. For Windows (XP, 2K, Vista) you can use any
standard programming language to access the libraries, including Visual
Basic. For MacOS X, support includes a software library which even allows
access via AppleEvents™. Want to make a FileMaker™ solution to open a cash
drawer, for instance? Easily done with IO-Warrior!
Code Mercenaries has been a supplier
for industrial input device and peripheral manufacturers since 1998.
The keyboard/mouse controller family
KeyWarrior, and the mouse controller family MouseWarrior serve as basis for a
large number of industrial input devices, such as products for the disability
market and other specialty input devices.
The joystick controller family
JoyWarrior serves a broad range of customers from industrial machine/vision
control, professional and semiprofessional simulator control, to hobby and
model building. Joystick/mouse hybrid controllers MW24J8 and MW24H8 make good
options for front panel design – they are switch selectable to work as a mouse
or joystick allowing both cursor control and data input via a joystick.
JoyWarrior24F8 is a low cost three
axis acceleration sensor. With its small size and simple USB connection, it
opens a lot of new application options. The MouseWarrior24F8 variant of this
sensor is a mouse replacement that needs no surface for operation.
Applications for the IO-Warrior
universal USB I/O controllers are very diverse. Only the number of pins and the
data rate limit the use of IO-Warrior. It is used in laboratory setups, test
equipment, as well as in hobby projects or full scale device production -
either as the core of a device or just the USB interface. IO-Warrior
chips control robots and telescopes, perform quality control on production
lines, take measurements in labs, control switches, and displays in front
panels or simulator cockpits, or work as the USB interface in many kinds of
manufactured products.
SpinWarrior is a family of rotary
encoder controllers with USB interface. Variants allow from 3 to 6 encoders to
be USB-connected, and are suitable for motion control, measurement, or human
interface applications.
Recently, Code Mercenaries started
developing and manufacturing products for LED lighting applications, delivering
maximum efficiency and maximum life cycle to match the potential of modern LED
technology.
