Serial Data Analysis Anyone?

[sgschwartz]

I have been looking at the serial data from Reefkeeper II that the myReef program uses.

I have determined that the data stream is at 19200, 8, 0.

The reefkeeper periodically sends out two 16 bit words followed by a 16 bit word of all zeros.

I started to decode which bits represent which channels when i thought maybe someone else has done this.

i will be glad to share my results with anyone.

i have been a programmer forever (back in the dinosaur days of the early 70's). i want to log the data and i am sick of myReef and its lost connection error message.

We do have a new version of myReef that we should be ready to post in beta form this week. There is a little tweak you'll need to do to run it in vista but we're working on that for the release.

Thanks!!! I was brain dead and really didnt want to look at bits.

Are the beta posts in the normal support location?

thanks?

Everything is on our site and will be labeled with its version or release status. Nothing special as far as location.

LOL... sometime I think that would fix a lot of problems!

Sometimes i miss the simplicity of msdos 2.0. it was really simple assemble language stripped of comments so that i couldn't rip off the intellectual property.

Long live 8086 and 6502

Viva la CLI!

But I don't remember 2.0. I remember DR DOS, DOS 3, DOS 4.3 (can anyone say "please, kill me"?!), and so on...

I also remember when Norton Utilities were actually USEFUL... You know, like when Peter Norton actually wrote utilities!

Anyway...

Also, RE Vista: Vista BLOWS. Takes 3 times as long to get something done, and it eats hardware like it was candy... It gives "bloatware" a bad name... I don't even think it reaches the status of "craptacular"...

And what ever happened to a supported 64 bit OS? I'd kill to run XP64 on my production system...

Curious: any idea if the software will run on a 64 bit OS?

We've not tested that and from what I've heard, XP64 is a nightmare! At this point I would have to say we wont be able to offer support for that OS.

Sorry
