Not sure what the 'sequencer' is supposed to do. It's missing a .bas file.

yeah. i have found that i didnt put in 2 modules... they do the file saving, loading..

so like, this is a 'way ear;y' version compared to what ive got working now.. but i am moving to .net visual studio - so who knows how long it will take to unlearn years of bad VB skills!

i will post more about it in the future, but the main idea is a standard serial motion\event controller for basic stamp types... a few simple event types and a sequencer, and a serial protocol..... ive got all the little bits working in seperate experiemntal programs.. the image is a simple piano-roll type sequencer window.. the longer a sequence is, the smaller each event gets...

the ins will have a few basic behaviours - stop sequence, goto location, stop event, spawn event, and possibly 'read encoder'.. and the events themselves will be On\off, move to x,y(2-axis stepper motor interface, simple...), play sound 'PC soundcard', loop sequence, 'if input=x then goto pointer'. the possible applications are mostly related to art, exhibit design, and other applications where a non engineer, non programmer might want a colorfull interface to simplify a Basic Stamp automation task... possibly a commercial endeavor.. hece, i will not ask for more programming help... ive found i can learn this stuff quickly... it is fun to obtain a little chunk of knolwedge, one new command say, and have it open endless possibilities..

i have been having good luck... i like working with software... it feels 'free' compared to electronics... no ordering parts, no blowing up the one eeprom.. its more man vs machine...

if .net seems like it will take more than a week to catch up in, i will be back to vb6... .net is so much prettier looking though...

thanks for the interest..
