Mychailo,
Not personally, but X is basically just UNIX....I'm sure I can find someone at work - what did you have in mind? -Bill

I've done a lot of C programming on Unix (Solaris, HP-UX, Tru64, Linux, Irix, SCO, NSUX), but not specifically on Mac OS X.
What do you have in mind? |

The Mr. Dyno I'm buying (and hopefully receiving today) is designed to interface, upload, and download data to a computer. The company has only produced PC software for it, but they are willing to give me the device I/O documentation to write a Mac application to interface with the Mr. Dyno.
I would attempt to tackle the project myself, but I just don't have time to get familiarized with the Mac OS X programming environment and learn about device I/O, so I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who already has these skills and would write a rudimentary Mac OS X app to interface with the Mr. Dyno.

That sounds like a very interesting project. I really wish I had the time and skills to help you with it, but at present I don't.
It might not be as difficult as you think. The Mr Dyno connects to the serial port, so it might just be a case of opening /dev/ttyS1 (or whatever) as a file and then reading/writing data to it. I would think that a command-line application to issue a few commands, and read the data returned would be a piece of cake. Any C programmer could do this without needing to be a Mac expert. The most difficult bit might be writing the GUI front end to display the data. Easiest option would be to store the data in a CSV text file, import into a spreadsheet and use the spreadsheet's graph drawing functions. Alternatively just spend $10 on a 5 year old PC and use the supplied software. Phil. |

You make it sound easy! :-) Yeah, I'll just have to go the PC route for now, but since I want to use a laptop, I'll have to spend $20. :-)))
