Comduino Terminal v 2.0

 This application is a test utility for reading and displaying states of digital and analog inputs, and setting states of outputs. Read post of Tuesday18th June, 2013 for a full explanation. 

This is a ClickOnce distribution so there is no fancy installer. Eventually I may get around to using a proper installation utility which will result in a single .exe or .msi setup file. For the moment I have uploaded the installation files to Google Drive as a zip archive. Download the zip file to your desktop and unzip it. This creates a folder called ComduinoTerminal on your desktop  (or a sub folder in the folder where you extracted the zip file). Run setup.exe in this folder to install the application. There is probably a better way of doing this.... any suggestions would be welcome.
This new version has a panel on the form with a series of buttons, one for each output allowing the state of outputs to be set.

This application is specifically for the Leonardo board. If you want to use it with other boards, you need to modify the code, which basically involves changing #defines for number of channels in the sketch and the equivalent in the VB code. I have used the aliases which refer to pins e.g. A0, A1 etc as described in ..Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\variants so these may need to be extended.

The accompanying sketch for a Leonardo board is here: Comduino1_0.ino
