I really grinned as I read this post. I couldn't agree more. I just figured it was a good place to start if there was a package put together, especially for someone who has never decoded a serial stream in their life (John is listed as Mech... although looks can be deceiving).

But starting from scratch is probably easier, now that I think about it.

I tried lab view... but when my code started looking like spaghetti, there werent any straight up arrays, i couldnt even print my code out to look at it without killing a forest, i had no idea what order my 'code' was executing in... oh and don't forget it passes EVERYTHING by value...

thanks, but no thanks. even though it does have the hugest collection of communications, filtering, machine vision, etc... i'd rather get to its libraries through CVI (C-Virtual Instrument... a way to write in C and use lab view extensions) even if it does take longer. Thats what i LOVE about DLL's.... no matter what the intended system is of getting at em, there's always the ANSI-32bit function call.... and heck NI even has manuals for em.
