I am not new to VisualBasic, however i am new to this networking area of VisualBasic.
The plan that i have come up with, is that i am currently in the process of building a Tesla coil, and would like it to be 100% USB controlled, however, in case i mess up ( =p ) i don't want to be anywhere near the controlling computer, so here is the setup:
I Have An Old Dell Computer 800mhz processor - 256mb Ram running tinyxp, which will soon be wireless networked. . . that is going to have a "USBThingie" USB DI/O control board which will switch my relays, and then at my main control station will be my laptop with a wireless router on an ad-hoc network with the other computer. . .
What i want to be able to do is have some host software that i make be running on the Dell, which will be the main code to control my USBThingie, and then on my laptop have a remote control code to control the code on the Dell, however, i am not sure how i would go about doing this. . .
Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated. . .
Thanks
