Im very interested in getting your product. Ive never done any PPC programming before so please dont laugh if these are stupid questions.

Would it be possible to make a FTP program from you software?
Would it be possible to read the values of a GPS unit from your software?
Would it be possible to take photos with the PPC camera with your software.

Thanks

I believe FTP is part of the WinSock protocol, which PPL supports.

As far as the GPS and camera are concerned, you should be able to interface with them, but you would probably need some sort of SDK for each of the devices (I don't have any formal experience working with either type of device).

Just like PointOfLight mentionned, FTP is part of the WinSock protocol and PPL supports it no problem.

As for GPS it looks like it's serial communication based which PPL supports. Camera I have no idea sorry.
