There are talks on the CQC forum about supporting IP connections to your COM ports. This means that CQC would allow you to connect a device to another PC possibly even over the internet and then be able to talk to that COM port just like if it were actually connected to your own PC. I brought this up to Dean after electron had shown me the splitting com ports into virtual ports was possible. The reason this is great news for CQC is because it would allow Dean to connect to a device over the internet and write drivers for that device. In other words if there is a device you have and you want support added then it could be done natively in CQC because dean could have access to the device for testing purposes.
The initial topic came up as a inexpensive hardware solution to this problem. The cheap hardware solutions found were $400+ which in my eyes is not very cheap. Which is why I aske Dean if something like a virtual port could be created.
Anyone have any thoughts about this?
