Hi,
I am not begging for code here, but rather some concepts / ideas on how to accomplish this. I code in VB.NET, but that isn't really too relevant at this point.
I am trying to develop something similar to a radar system. I have that all working and the data coming in just fine. Now I want to add an audible ping to the application that gives information about the data. Sort of like the sonar ping you see on submarine / boat movies. I want the frequency of the ping to indicate the range to the target, and then the duration (or number of pings) to indicate the number of targets / ranges received.
I experimented with using system.beep and got it to behave the way I want. But it pretty much locked up the processor and bogged down the rest of my application. I was going to start working on putting it on its own thread to see if that would free up the processor (not very fluent with how to do threading) but thought that perhaps there was a better way using the real sound card and maybe its MIDI abilities to play sounds?
Anyway, I have never messed around with audio in my applications and I am not sure the best way to proceed. I was hoping for some ideas and suggestions from here that could get me started. Hopefully I have explained it well enough.
TIA
