Jellis,

I thought this thread was long dead! My thoughts on PIC/USB/StampPlotPro:

1. StampPlotPro won't talk USB.
2. I don't know enough about USB comms to know how one would 'change' an incoming USB data stream, inside the laptop, to get it to talk to StampPlotPro.

I've now modified my weather station to record CSV files on a thumb drive by using a Vdrive2 module from Vinculum - about $50 - and transfer the data about once a month. However, this does not solve your need to get a 'real time display.'

I expect there must be some 'easy to customise' softwear for a PC that talks USB and gives a virtual instrument panel.

I keep putting off starting to learn VB. I'm told that it's quite easy? Thoughts on StampPlotPro:

1. Fast and easy to cobble displays together.
2. Documentation is pretty good.
3. I paid the extra ($20 I think?) for the add on bits - worth it.
4. The graphics are a bit '1950 Soviet power station' style - but you can add your own.

Sorry to be of little/no help to you. If you solve it, please let me know how.

Regards Bill Legge
