This component provides a simple wrapper to the Etherdream DAC.

It was originally written as graphical instruction output for the TurkDeck VR experience:

0. Requirements

A compiler that understands C++11

For *nix OSs, this will be gcc >= 4.7.

Visual Studio supports C++11 since its 2012 incarnation.

1. Building

*nixes

This should be pretty straightforward:

cd laser_control
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Windows

Use cmake to generate a VS project. Compile it.

To run it from VS, it has to find openCV DLLs: Add to path: Z:/lib_msvc11/opencv/2.4.8/build/x64/vc11/bin;

Unity (Mac and Linux)

cp lib/laserwrappercs.so [path-to-Unity-project]/Assets/Plugin/
cp lib/laserwrappercs.bundle [path-to-Unity-project]/Assets/Plugin/
cp lib/LaserWrapperCS/ [path-to-Unity-project]/Assets/Plugin/
