Reportedly, yes. I don't have any yet, but there's a separate configuration app that allows to configure each button pair (button 0 and 1, or 2 and 3, etc.) for rotary encoders. > The 12 bit ADC's are nice. Yes.

The reason is simply that I don't accept that the utilities are closed source and for MS Windows and OSX only. And the longer I have to wait for info from the producer, the farther I will go. Meanwhile I'm analyzing disassemblies of the two utilities ... ugly compiled VBA. Shudder. Unfortunately, I don't have an MS Windows around here, which makes it a lot harder than it had to be. > Do you have a mechanism for driving external lamps or meters? No. Other people have asked for that on the Bodnar forum, too. The used chip should even make that easy. Maybe there need to be more requests. Unfortunately, the user support is suboptimal, to put it politely. The chip costs ~5$, so maybe one should bypass lazy vendors ... m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
