Hi Martin,
oh boy wow this really did an unexpected turn to the better I am so grateful for your answer!
First of all, no damage done, all is good and I really still appreciate you replying to my mail 3 1/2 years ago and being where we are now due to your kind actions back then.
Actually I have written an email to the webmaster of Parallex in November 2016 informing them about this "new version" and asked them if they would be fine with placing a link on their download section - but never received an answer :-/ I just wasn't sure to write you as well... guess there went some potential down the drain, sorry for that...
Yeah so next to replacing the Stamp with the API calls and extending it to be 64 bit ready (PointerSafe) I implemented some more function calls and configuration possibility. I totally agree that it gets kind of "overloaded" on the UI even though I tried to hide the DirectDebugWindow by default.
I was always looking at some improvements in the API calls since this version comes with some stability issues with regards to high input of data (e.g. receiving data every 5ms). If I would have ever found the time to tackle that general API handling with promising looking other code I found I would have thought about an UI rework as well. But yeah, never actually found the time and most people could live with 9600 baud and adding a 100ms delay to their code.
That said, if you really get in touch with Parallex and would like to give the program a new boost I will gladly assist and try to arrange some time for it. I once even started a "backlog" over the now 28 pages to collect improvement ideas and community requests. Just saying
Really looking forward hearing from you and all the best from Germany
