Easy. I'll write a dll that includes all the communications code, etc. You just pass in the values you want the motors/relays to have and it outputs the correct packets. Likewise, you just call a function in the dll to get the current sensor values. Then, all you have to do is write a short C/C++ (or VB) program to do the processing in between the getSensorValues and the outputMotors calls (names pending).

I'll probably write some wrapper-app that includes some basic functionality, such as DirectInput joysticks, on-screen buttons, etc. for people that don't know C.



Anyway, if you're interested, vote here.
