Hello Steve, |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Well those are OK but, I was hoping for something with |
| 15 |
a few simple input boxes, so the user can input, say |
| 16 |
a floating point varialble or an integer varialble |
| 17 |
inside the box, then my program would use the |
| 18 |
9600 baud serial port to transfer the parameter setting |
| 19 |
to a specific register on the microP. Likewise the |
| 20 |
program (gui) could interrogate the microP and discover |
| 21 |
various settings/values, using the gui interface. |
| 22 |
A raw terminal session will work, but, it helps me to |
| 23 |
be able to put simple graphics and other things beside |
| 24 |
the IO gui boxes (my jargon is neophyte. maybe they are |
| 25 |
called dialog boxes to gui programmers?) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I know how to do all of the serial stuff on the linux |
| 28 |
and microP side, I just am not much of a gui developer |
| 29 |
(to say the least).... |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
It can be simple to the point of spartan on the gui side |
| 32 |
of things, I usually use C underneath and on the micro. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Currently, we're using National Instrument's CVI to do this |
| 35 |
on the PC, but, I'd like to get away from NI... |

|
| 38 |
I do not need anything as feature rich as CVI, just something |
| 39 |
simple to build the gui side of things and which will run |
| 40 |
on XP and gentoo(kde). |
