for our compressor, its for a vacuum, so psi isnt that hard, thanks for the info, and i talked to one of our programmers, and he should be able to spit something up by the next regional

thanks everyone

just take a look in the default code - down at the bottom of Default_Routine there's code the sets the state of the LEDs on the OI - play around with that to your hearts content.

well, i dont have a problem with the programming, but more of not having the interface in front of me, so i dont know where to place something. also, i found out i can use the RS232 port for output on the OI, but it needs its own power source, and i am worried of toasting the OI with too much ampage...
