I need a simple GUI that will run on Windows to display some serial data from the Arduino and also send some simple commands to the Arduino on command by a user.
I don't know enough about C/C++ to make an exe file in a timely matter and I don't currently have the time to learn Java, .Net, or XML or the like.
Any suggestions?
Do a search on this forum for "Gobetwino". I down loaded it and it looked pretty good for what you are looking for, but I haven't really put it to much use yet.

Interesting - thanks, I'll have a look at it.
Hyperterminal, comes with Windows.
It doesn't come with Vista - although there are free terminals out there for DL.
But that is missing the point, GUI = Graphics User Interface, Meaning I want to do something with the data graphically and have a pretty for nice window to display it in. Instead of just a string of numbers.
If that Gobetwino program does what it sounds like, I may be able to send the data to Excel and display in on a graph. That might be OK.
Any super programmers want to whip something up? 
You should be able to find enough examples of using "Processing" to interface with the Arduino and give you the gui interface your looking for.
Some examples:

And you should be able to find more in the Arduino Playground or Google.
Good luck,
Thanks for the links, but something seems to be wrong. I get erros on the page and it doesn't load. When I finally did get it to load, the file wouldn't download and stopped at 99% and locked up my brouser.
I'll try again later. From what I did see of it, that might be the ticket.
Got the Processing to download, looks like this might work. Thanks!!
Not sure why I didn't find this before.
