Setting up Visual C++ for Maglev programming

This article shows you step by step how to configure the Microsoft Visual C++ for developing Maglev applications in a Windows environment. 

About Ping Times

The Maglev control box and the the client computer are connected via Ethernet. To allow controllers to run at 1 kHz or faster, this connection needs to be reasonably fast. There are two simple ways to test connection speed:

The Maglev Haptic API Directory Structure

This article describes how the basic MagLev API directory structure should look like.

Two-handed Haptics

This article will discuss how to use a pair of maglev haptic devices for two-handed haptics.

On the Gravity Functions

This article talks about the various gravity functions and how to use them.
