Overview

The Intel® RealSense™ DIM Weight Software provides an SDK for developers to create their own solutions. In addition to the pre-built sample app, the file Intel_RealSense_DWS_1.1.pdf, which is provided with the DIM Weight Software SDK when you extract it, contains sample code and instructions for setting up your own project.

There are many ways to configure your Visual Studio project based on your own standards. This article is a detailed guide for one way to setup your DIM Weight Sample solution in Visual Studio.

The major steps are listed in section 6.4 Integration. In step 1, the correct filename is DWSSDK.dll.

The sample app code is in section 8. Example code
