Gents/Ladies,
To cut a long story short I'm a PLC/SCADA guy but i have a bet with a guy at work who says i can't code normal software so its a bit of challenge for me :D, I'll start of and admit my knowledge is limited but have very basic understanding due to simple scripting.
I basically want a form to display 6 values using gauges and labels in real time. from an ECU so its serial comms. I've found out the data and got some info acquired from a hyper terminal type program, its in bytevalue etc and got the parity etc figured out, it'll need converted from a CHAR to DEC then outputted into a label or something.
The first question is i want to get a good library to add some gauges so i thin I'll have to install a library nd install via references?
Second, can anyone help me with a basic code structure? at the moment i have 6 label and a close button, i cant even seem to get time set in a lable to update in real time. After this I'm struggling.
thanks
