Basic GUI in AHK to talk to MCU - done
String manipulation to give user visual feedback on chip state - pending
Biggest headache was talking to the serial port in Windows. Sure, there are 1000's of GUI programs out there, but what happens when you want to write a program where you can push a button and get data out? Now you need a lite solution. Luckily, the dons on the AHK forum have cooked something up that calls the buildComDCB DLL from M$. It's not a 'lite' solution, but...
Now I'm faced with a quandary - how do I process data - it was a snap in Perl, but AHK's emphasis is not on data manipulation, so it doesn't give you 'lite' methods :(
