Skype and EMANT300

You should be familiar with working with Skype and should have two computers with Skype installed. The computer with the EMANT300 and camera (optional) installed will be called host and the other client.

Make sure that both the host and client computer Skype program can communicate with each other before proceeding. Get familiar with the chat function as you will be using it later.

Install ActiveSInstall_10204 on the host computer. This activeX allows C# Express to work with Skype.

Open the SkypeBot Solution using C# Express. Build the program. There should be no error.

Run the program. The following window opens

This is a security check. Click OK. The SkypeBot program window is now displayed

Using the client skype program, call the host skype. Manually answer the call on the host skype. To auto answer, set the host skype to auto-answer using Tools->Options->Advanced->Automatically answer incoming calls. Once connected, all activity is now on the client skype.

Using chat on the client skype, type LED ON. The Green LED on the light application adaptor turns on. Note that you must type the command as shown. No small letters and no additional spaces. This is to simplify the programming. You are welcome to improve on the text parsing routine.

The other commands are

LED OFF - Turn off the Green LED

LUX VALUE - the light intensity will be returned

If there is an error in your commands, an error message with suggestions will be displayed.

When you are done, disconnect.

Examine the code and modify.
