BrainD

BrainD is a server application that provides simultaneous multi-client access and control to Acroname devices connected to a host computer. Connected devices can be accessed without drivers via any intranet or internet connection, including tunneling over VPNs. Using a standard HTTP request interface, BrainD serves a RESTFul API that provides telemetry and status information on the entire USB tree. BrainD builds upon decades of experience from successfully deploying complex test and measurement systems, conference room solutions, and artificially intelligent robotic applications.
