Something configurable and scriptable! (a la
XUL)
We also had a
dashboard this year. The only thing I would add to it (except for above) is to add support for other data streams (TCP/IP, named pipes, etc.) in addition to serial ports.
If I could make it semi-dynamically configurable, I would probably leave the entire bottom pane open, and remove code for sequence detection (something I added after seeing Ypsilanti regional).
