Yeah I actually thought about this, but I didn't play around with the Camera yet , therefore I couldn't add that to the viewer till now.

If you could tell me how much Variables with what Values I'll get from the Camera and how you want it to look it'll be about 5 min for me to put that in : ) ...

nice programming job. i bet this will be useful to many teams.

i like the idea of posting the source code. OPEN SOURCE RULES!!!

Probably around Monday - Wednesday.

I may want to add something about performance: I'm running and Developing this thing on a Pentium 3 Laptop with 1.2 Ghz and 768 MB Ram. During my test's I didn't had to much problems with performance but I guess not everybody has the same Resources (not that mine are very fenzy but still).
Whatsoever, in order to make sure the Data on your Screen is Synchronized with the Program, it is only Interpreting Input if your PC is fast enough. That means if your Computer is to slow the program is starting to only interpret every 2nd, 3rd, usw. InputLine uintil it the Speed meets your Systems performance. The advantage of this is that the when the Screen Updates you can be sure the Information you see is Sync, but the disadvantage is your update frequenzy is going to sink with lower resources.
But there also is a cmd called "snda" which you can use if you want to make sure this InputLine never gets skipped for some reasons (because you might only send it at some events in your program and not in your main loop) so theoretically everybody should be able to use it : ).

Ok stay tuned, I'm just testing the thing on other System's and Clean Up my Source Code a little bit and add some comments here and there ...

Wow dude... that looks sweet. I was actually thinking of writing something like that up as well but I've been so busy looking up and planning the electrical that I never had a chance. I'll probably direct someone on our team to this thread so that they maybe use it whenever you release it to the public. Great job and keep up the good work!

Thanks : ). Yeah I mean there is nothing really difficult to this besides that it takes a good amount of time doing it. The only challenge was working witht the Serial Port in VB.Net since the MSCom Control from VB6 is not avaible in there any more ... First I was trieng to use a class that was supposed to read the Com Ports but at a certain speed it started to loose packages and producing garbage. So finally I ended up using a refurbished Version of the VB6 Control that works in VB.Net ... o_O ^^
