8 Developing Custom Host Software
Custom host software uses the same underlying device command set to communicate with all available
iDynamo models. This section provides high-level information about communicating with the device and
provides pointers to select API references and sample code.
8.1

Android and Windows Custom Software

MagTek produces software development kits (SDKs) with API libraries that provide higher-level
functions wrapped around USB HID communication protocols. These libraries simplify the development
of custom host software that interfaces with iDynamo 5. See:
•
99510133 SOFTWARE, SDK, DYNAMAG, DYNAMAX, DYNAWAVE, EDYNAMO,
IDYNAMO 6, MDYNAMO, TDYNAMO (WINDOWS C++ / JAVA)
•
99510132 SOFTWARE, SDK, ADYNAMO, DYNAMAG, DYNAMAX, DYNAWAVE,
EDYNAMO, IDYNAMO 6, MDYNAMO, TDYNAMO, UDYNAMO (WINDOWS .NET)
•
99510109 SDK - MAGTEK SCRA - ANDROID, DYNAMAG, DYNAMAX, EDYNAMO,
UDYNAMO, ADYNAMO, BULLET, MDYNAMO, TDYNAMO(GEN I, II), DYNAWAVE,
IDYNAMO 6, AND DYNAGLASS
In addition to MagTek's SDKs, custom software on any operating system can communicate directly with
the device using the operating system's native USB libraries and protocols. For details see D998200587
iDynamo 5 Gen III Programmer's Manual COMMANDS.
8.2

iOS Custom Software

MagTek produces software development kits (SDKs) with API libraries that provide higher-level
functions wrapped around Lightning communication protocols. These libraries simplify the development
of custom host software that interfaces with iDynamo. See 99510111–v 146 DYNAMAX / EDYNAMO
/ UDYNAMO / ADYNAMO / IDYNAMO / KDYNAMO / SDYNAMO / TDYNAMO SDK FOR IOS.
All product software and documentation is available from www.magtek.com.
In addition to MagTek's SDK API libraries, custom host software can communicate directly with the
device using Apple's ExternalAccessory Framework, with sample code available in the form of Apple's
EADemo app. For details, see:
•
Apple Developer Documentation
