Below is a function w/ a working example showing how to access the AIDA64 shared memory. First enable shared memory here: Preferences > Hardware Monitoring > External Applications > Enable Shared Memory The length of the data depends on the number of active sensors and their content. As AIDA64 does not provide a buffer size value, we use _WinAPI_GetSystemInfo() <WinAPISys.au3> to get dwPageSize ($aArray[1]). This value is the used as an address offset, and we continue reading chunks of data until we encounter a 0x00 NUL character. Based on the Delphi example found in the AIDA64 documentation: https://www.aida64.co.uk/user-manual/external-applications Feedback appreciated, especially as all this shared memory stuff is not my ordinary cup of... cake. And regarding this whole ordeal of reading data without knowing the exact length; I'm suspecting my solution to read chunks of data like done below is not by the book, and I'm concerned what might happen if the final chunk is exactly 4096 bytes in length. Will there still be a NUL terminator there? Hmm. #NoTrayIcon #include <WinAPIFiles.au3> #include <WinAPISys.au3> ; #INDEX# =========================================================================================================================== ; Title .........: AIDA64 Shared Memory access for AutoIt3 ; Author(s) .....: demux4555 ; Reference .....: https://www.aida64.co.uk/user-manual/external-applications ; =================================================================================================================================== Global $vSharedmem_data ; The variable used to store the data we read from the shared memory Global $return = ExtApp_SharedMem_ReadBuffer_v2($vSharedmem_data) ; Now, let's see what happens when we run the function...

Is there any way to send variables/values to a script via parameters during runtime? My current setup is to have a main script that always runs. This script basically sits in the background. After 1 minute, it reads text files (made via a second script), parses out the values, averages them per sensor, and posts to Thingpseak. The secondary script does not permanently run but instead runs via Eventghost when Eventghost gets GET requests from the sensors. I am looking to see if there is a way I could just have Eventghost send the parameter straight to the primary script while it is running, thus removing the need to write to files/have multiple scripts. EDIT: I just realized I could have Autoit process GET requests to do this. Doh. Point still stands though, is there a way to send values to a running script without inputboxes or reading from files?

Halo wounderfull Autoit Forum I have gotten a new laptop that i am going to have the next few year and i would like to be able to get data from all its sensors like Location & Movement (GPS, Accelometer) I have gotten the GPS to work I have found the code for the Accelorometer but its in C++ (and i have no experiance with .dll calls and c++) Could some on PLEASE help me / point me in the right direction ass i just cant get it to work in autoit / know where to start here is the autoit code i have tried so far but keep getting @error 1 = unable to use the DLL file, ;/* * LoadSensorDLL.cpp * * Created on: Feb 11, 2012 * Author: CONG NGUYEN * */ #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> struct AccelData { int status; short x; //raw data short y; //raw data short xx; //avg. of 40ms short yy; //avg. of 40ms char temp; //raw value short x0; //used for auto-center short y0; //used for auto-center }; using namespace std; typedef void * (__stdcall *ShockproofGetAccelerometerData)(AccelData* accData); //function prototypes void calibrate(void); void calibrateX(); void calibrateY(); short getAccelX(); short getAccelY(); double getRotationRadiansX(); double getRotationDegreesX(); double getRotationRadiansY(); double getRotationDegreesY(); //declare constants const double PI = 3.141592; //declare global variables HINSTANCE hinstDLL; AccelData accData = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}; ShockproofGetAccelerometerData pfnGetData; bool isSupported; //declare global variables used for calibration and movement short x_hor = 0; short y_hor = 0; short x_max = 0; short y_max = 0; double x_norm = 0.0; double y_norm = 0.0; double test = 0.0; int main(void) { int loop = 1; hinstDLL = LoadLibrary(L"Sensor.dll"); if(hinstDLL == 0) { hinstDLL = LoadLibrary(L"sensor.dll"); } if(hinstDLL == 0) { isSupported = false; } else { isSupported = true; pfnGetData = (ShockproofGetAccelerometerData) GetProcAddress((HINSTANCE) hinstDLL, "ShockproofGetAccelerometerData"); } calibrate(); calibrateX(); calibrateY(); cout << x_hor << ", " << y_hor << endl; cout << x_max << ", " << y_max << endl; cout << endl; cout << "Calibration completed.\n"; getchar(); cout << "TIlt 45 degrees.
