‘Wiring’ you say? I thought that was part of the Arduino internals and not a portable library… will do some research.

Meanwhile, this is just an Application to control the layout. It receives sensor output from the layout and then acts appropriately. Currently it can set the throttle, pause and change LEDs. Next will be point control, sounds (although not too soon) and whatever else I can think of.

That strikes me as…over-thinking what the function is supposed to do?

I would have been banging my head against the wall for weeks, even had I seen what you did, as I long ago forgot that ASCII is technically only 7 bits, and that there were once upon a time parts of the world that didn’t use some kind of extended-ASCII character set.

Good work!

So, where is this going? Very intrigued. Also, have you considered using Wiring instead of .NET, for portability’s sake?
