RE: Waiting for a good Control Program

Rob and all,

I am struggling with what to do about this.  I had hopes that Rob could 
send me code that I could test on ROB before he came and got it.  I now 
think that will not work very well.

What might work is for one of the system owners to put their system on 
line.  The hope is that then everyone will be able to get at it and test 
code.  This was part of the purpose of sending the test boards to 
Chris.  But this did not really work out.

Once ROB gets shipped, then there will be 4 field locations.  ARNE, 
MICHAEL, MIKE and ROB.  I really hope that one of these locations will be 
able to put their system on line.  I suspect that this is not possible for 
ARNE.  Possibly it is also awkward for MICHAEL.  So the prime candidate is 
probably ROB, since Mike is running Windows on MIKE.

What do you all think?

Hey Tom,

I hate to disillusion you, but the last time I wrote assembly was in
college.  With linux, they even wrap the common assembly instructions in
macros and functions.

What I will use is C, or inline C (you can put C inside your Perl programs,
with the appropriate CPAN module of course) to accomplish some of the items
I need (like grabbing the data from the memory card).

If I can be of any assistance with the memory tester thing (like the tester
interfaces with a pc), let me know.

Cheers,
Rob
