Hooked everything up on my windows 8 laptop and couldn't get the pull-down listing of COM ports to work. Com menu works ok on my Win 7 PC but it's inside.

Definitely. I'll be following along.

Nice. I'll have to do some studying. Arduino is heavily supported with hardware that is much cheaper. Having a way to set it up with flowstone is handy.

Sweet! For OBDII, the biggest hurdle for me was understanding the COM port communication -which is way over my head. I'll have to break it down some using your file. I would love to make some custom tools in FS.

*Edit
Picked up the interface and bluetooth adapter. Pretty cheap!

I made the background bitmap using Blender. I was listening to the Tron soundtrack and got a little carried away.

I needed a high-contrast GUI that worked well at night. A lot of ventilators like Siemens or Drager have interfaces that are way too bright for night time use.

After spending the first half of this year learning Ruby and playing with FS, I was able to start on a functioning ventilator prototype later this summer. Now that I have it working pretty good, I would be happy to have you guys critique the FS side of things, so I can have something well-tuned.

I ...

Nice. This will be great for teaching my kids.

As for audio & robotics being together, I think FS is awesome. I would be saddened to see them part, since I have one program for all my projects. It is very versatile.

**Edit**

The Flowpaw specs are pretty impressive! Love the number of in/outs.

Chalk another good one for the wiki. haha.

Yeah, the wiki thread must be made sticky.

Scrounge around the ol' synthmaker forum. I didn't know it existed until about a month ago and have had great success. Here's some:

Note that FS will open (most?) synthmaker files on the forum.
