Just been kinda watching this thread. So my apologies if this misses the mark :) I have never done serial port programming but I would suspect that I/O to your device would end up being the simplest part of your app. Why not start prototyping your app with python. I've being using python on FreeBSD and I love it! There's a nice wrapper for Tk called Tkinter that you can you to put a front end on it and a whole bunch of database interfaces (I think you said that you wanted to archive your info...) see: http://www.python.org and a quick search on deja showed a few people who've done your type of thing. (The one shows someone getting data from a multimeter) http://x32.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=515106896&CONTEXT=942183969.1138884624&hitnum=6 http://x44.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=522492908&CONTEXT=942184189.95027202&hitnum=17 good luck, =derek Monster By Mistake Inc > 'digital plumber' mailto:drek@monsterbymistake.com http://www.interlog.com/~drek To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
