Hello,
Has anyone ever had the need to build a simple "configuration interface" to their PBP program? I have the need to build a simple configuration interface that allows the user to change some of the parameters used in calculations, ie. alarm setpoints, etc. using the WRITE or WRITECODE command. The interface will be used infrequently, usually only once or twice to set up the device and test. I'm thinking about a simple RS232 terminal type app that the user will just connect to via their favorite terminal app and a serial cable.
Any experiences with this type of interface? I can see it being a little tricky to break into the "setup routine" by having to Serin a pin constantly for data or maybe an interrupt on one of the other rs232 signal lines?
Opinions and suggestions welcome.
