The following may or may not be on topic. Moderator please advise.
I will take this to email if I am off topic.
The two things you need are a driver, and the low level function library
that drives the interfaces.
The low level "driver" is either the serial interface code to
standard ttys talking to a DS9097U-9 adapter, or the Linux driver for
the parallel port adapter (DS1410E). This driver currently does
not support the current parport sharing model, but it is
being worked on.
The function library consists of calls to iBReset,iBFirst,iBNext,
iBDataByte,iBDataBit, etc. and is what your application would
call into. The application would have to use these functions to
build packets to talk to each part. What devices are you
planning on using?
Both of these things can be found in one place, jibkit092, which
is a development tarball for java buttons, but the lowest levels
are useable for all buttons.
You can get the jibkit092.tar.gz from:
