Lou,

The GUI looks very nice indeed, I can see a lot of hard work went into it and I'm keen to try it.

I have a question regarding the abilities of the GUI to use custom packet protocols.  I have looked through the "Dashboard Designer" PDF, and saw the support for the roboDNA Helix protocol; would it be possible for users to add their own existing packet based protocol to the gui, either using built in functions or via some kind of plugin?

The packet structure I have in mind is quite simple, 4 byte outgoing packet followed by 4 byte response.  Each packet contains 8 bit register number, 16 bit data, 4 bit checksum, read/write bit and a couple of status bits.  I can give you more details if needed.

Best regards

Mike
