Good to know Jon, I'll be glad to talk about that with you.
I like your hardware approach, getting your hands dirty on a naked ATMega16
should be fun too :-)
It's interesting, and results in *much* smaller code than you'd get
using the arduino
I think you're really beating yourself up the hard way. ;-)

Using something like Leo Bodnar's joystick interface would be a good
start. I think it does work with Linux MacOS as well as Windows.
It does on Linux. The BU0836* expert for Linux is even a former

Oh sure, I completely understand that! What I was saying though is that
you're going to be much better off

Robertto,
Another way is to drop a Microchip Pic in your com box, if you use one of
the smaller 18f 40 pin versions you have heaps of analog and bidirectional
digital io pins, and construction wise you only need add an xtal and an
rs232 or Ethernet

I don't know if this is the best approach or not, but when I tackled this

I created a structure where I could load an xml file that associated the raw

Here's the protocol file I was using - this basically sets up FG to pump
this data out via UDP at whatever update rate you want.
I used outbound UDP from FG to send data from the sim to my host interface
software and then a telnet based command channel that would be used to set
properties.
