Hi I'm working with Visual Studio 2005 C++.
All I want to do is be able to communicate to the Arduino board.  I just need to print to a text file each time a push button is pushed from teh Arduino board.
 
Is there a way to do this using Visual Studio 2005??
I keep getting lost because I tried the C code they offered on the Arduino playground site, but it doesn't compile and asks me about termios.h and unistd.h.  I even downloaded these from solarish unix site, and still was getting compilation errors.
 
Please let me know if this is possible to do.

Can some1 answer my secondary question about using processing??
I think I might rather try this processing language, if it does the trick, and I am able to some how integrate it with Open GL environement.  Thanks!

Hmm can processing used be in conjunction with C++?  I need to at some point integrate this data logger with a Open GL envioronment, because I am trying to create a mirror, where teh data logger will just take data about the movements, and then the Open GL environment will feature a 3d character that will mirror the physical sensor movements.
 
So if I was trying to work on a big project like this, for integration purposes and simplicity of code, what would be the best language to work for this type of project?

Why is it such a nightmare??
