Moving an image using a IR sensor(MFC)?

[johnjameson]

Hey guys,I have an IR sensor here and I was wondering would it be posssible to create some sort of mfc program to move an image on the screen with the sensor?

The sensor I have is the same as this video here and I was thinking of maybe doing a more basic program of the one being shown here

My only real experience with mfc has been making a program to read and display values on screen from a serial device.

Sure you can. You would need to convert thew sensor data to pixel/screen coordinates and sync it (like the Android callibration functionality). Then you could use the sensor data to set the Top/Left properties of a Picture Frame container. This is not a trivial task/applicaiton.

Ah ok thanks,is there anywhere I can look at something similiar to this or some form of example?

The closest thing that I know of would be thisone:

Anything new here?

Anything new here?

Look, there's nothing new here just because your issue has nothing to do with either VC++ or regular programming topics like networking or database programming. Your case is about interfacing with some fancy device having no standard interface/API, so it hardly belongs here.
