I have a FB sitting here still in the box, and have been waiting patiently for something just like this
As always, I am more than willing to Beta Test this as it progresses. No, not to just get a copy early or anything like that, as beta's are usually not full featured as they progres anyhow, but to actually truly test it and offer solid feedback on it function.
thats just what i'll be looking for shortly.. a few people with different versions of the brain's firmware to test and find bugs. i'll also need people to test cpu usage and hibernation capabilities. I'm at the point now where most everything works i just need to do some optimization with the timer functions n such. Too slow results in slow reads of data, too fast might raise the cpu % a bit. Who knows where it'll land but right now i'm reading/writing to the brain every half second.
Anyways, here's a very simple screenie of what i've got so far. Before anyone points it out i KNOW there's only 10 digital outputs listed... i simply didnt know there were 12 in total lol. Green squares indicate the port is on, red is off.
on a side note, i just realized another thing i'm depending on FCC for. I pull the device instance from the registry key FCC creates. Without that people would have to manually enter there vidpids upon installation of the plugin.
