Re: xAP-485 Bridge Software

[Stuart Booth]

Heya Paul,

This is exciting! Somebody about to use my framework. I'll be very
interested to discover how you get on; what you don't like, what
doesn't work as you'd expect it etc. Everything can be improved upon
so if you hit a problem, just shout.

Where does the 485 Connector sit? Is that on the PC side or on the
hardware end? I assume the latter.

So you need an application on the PC that takes incoming xAP messages
and transmits them to the PC serial port?

I'm not sure on this one, sorry.

I'll have to leave that for Kevin as I'm not completely sure. I've as
yet done nothing in this particular arena.

What do you use to compile VB.net apps?
