Sorry, when I went through school they weren't teaching VB anymore (back in 03'/04')

Edit: Try using stackoverflow.com - It's a really good resource if you have questions or are looking for answers.

I like the gobetwino because it seems like it should be a pretty straightforward program that'll take data only when i send it, so not overwhelming.

There's a few other data logging programs out there aswell, I found this one late last night that might be what you are looking for:

and basically most things on the arduino interfacing with software page:

I used to do PLC programming as well. I took a Jva course in college a few years back, never really used it too much until recently. I've been doing lots of VBA programming at work, and now with the arduino i've relearned C programming. Like you say, fun experience so far, can't wait to see what my controller ends up as.

Default anything but VB...

Geez, this would be the first time that I have ever seen a project done with VB that was interesting. Sadly, I'm not good at VB, and don't really want to be.

I have done a bit of work with the atmega chips before if you ever need help with that, or any other language (I program in about 40+, some I don't want to admit) just say the word. Just don't tell anyone I can code in "J"....

What im trying to do at the moment is find code on how each toolbox component works, eg:

On the left of the GUI i have 2 linear sliders so i can set my light intensities for my white and actinic leds.
Under each slider is a digital led box.

What i would like to do is show the value in the led box to which each slider is set at.

Slider at 50%, box reads 50% etc

Once i have that sorted then i can work out how to add that to the serial commands to send to the controller.

One control at a time.

VR.
