Ok. Cool. This is just what I was looking into. I was going to try talking to the CM-5 with just hyperterm (too bad Vista does not have it. doh.)

Or you do what the Behavior control and motion editor programs do which is communicated serially with the CM5 in clear text.
Then you have the benefit of many IDEs that have modules that can talk serial.

You write a program that runs on the ATmega128 and communicates via some means with a program running on the PC (say through a serial or usb port).

First of all, merry xmas and happy new year to all!

Even tho at xmas you can't expect much work to be done, I've been looking at the manuals and such on programming the ATMega128 with user-mae c code and trying the examples out, and all is good. However, how would it be possible to run a visual program, most likely in visual c++, which could control the ATMega??? Any ideas? I'm really stuck here even tho I'm supposed to be a graduate engineer! Anyone have any useful links on programming micros using a GUI-based language? Considering that the c code examples already given run through the 'robot terminal', is there someway of writing exteranl code to talk to the terminal?
