| So last Friday, I was asked by my boss to get something quick and dirty working to automate taking readings from a Xilinx FPGA plus in-house aux/logic board using RS-232.
I thought, why not MUSHClient?
Simple answer: why not!?
A bit of research for COM port redirectors and I finally got a good one (albeit, nagware) called Comfoolery which maps the physical COM1 to TCP port 5751.
Combine that with 90 lines of MUSHClient LUA code, and I have myself an automated method of writing to two registers on the hardware level, reading from a resultant register and copying everything to a CSV file for analysis!
Perhaps this is simpler than I had always thought, and a bit more than obvious to most of you, but I'm pretty proud of myself at the moment :).
Here's a screenshot!
