WOW! This is awesome stuff! Can we get someone here to wrap that dll into something more useable for us non-coders *nodding to self* I would love to be able to easily control physical circuts with AMS!!! USB is way out of my league. When I left assembly and DOS programming it was all printer ports.

GREAT find!

I'm learning (Self Teaching) VBA for automating Office and i came across that site. Pretty cool stuff. image having that with some MIDI support! i would be the next neighbor in trouble for having the extreme christmas light display!

if i knew how, i would rap it up for us.

lol... I was going to joke about automating the christmas lights. hahaha

Worm is the dll king, but I'd hate to pawn that off on him. It would really open up a lot of jobs for AMS developers, though! Taking us into the realm of robotics and industrial automation programming. Wooooot!

I was thinking that this could be a cool little toy...

I wish there was a way to wrap this in a standard AMS function... send bit, etc. I'll post this in the "Iwannas" 8.0 wish list topic.
