Dashboard Recorder

Does anyone out there have an existing utility to grab data from the dashboard port and dump it into a .txt file or an Excel sheet? I started writing one in C this afternoon and then I thought that there are probably some good ones already out there.

I don't know of anything to dumb the data to disk. However, I did write a Dashboard port reader in C a few years ago. You can find it along with the source code at http://www.bcpl.net/~mleese/dashboard.html The actual reader part is fairly modular and you could fairly easily write something to simply dump it to disk. It's a Win32 program. If you need any help, feel free to ask me.

Matt,
Thanks, I think that will work fine, I can use your port reader section and write a chunk to write the incoming data to a file.
