On the pc side of things I would strongly suggest forgetting about C/C++ unless you really, really prefer it and/or have no choice. It is going to be much more complex doing serial and/or network programming in straight C/C++. Using a serial device properly requires more than just 'fopen'ing it, except in the most simple of cases, and can be quite tedious and complex using straight C system calls...networking as well. Personally I recommend using a higher level language (I use Python) that will make your life so much easier and allow you to get things done quickly and easily without hassles of low level details. | On the pc side of things I would strongly suggest forgetting about C/C++ unless you really, really prefer it and/or have no choice.

For your data processing needs (formatting, conversion, marshalling, compression etc), you can use a combination of the sprintf() library function, and the bits.nas module in $FG_ROOT/bits.nas | For your data processing needs (formatting, conversion, marshalling, compression etc), you can use a combination of the sprintf() library function, and the [http://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata/blobs/master/Nasal/bits.nas bits.nas module in $FG_ROOT/bits.nas]. | ||
