2009-10-17 Thread Nick Weldin
Is there a way to have a blank line recognised as a line in msgfile - having a blank line in the text file just gets ignored, as does a line with just a space. I want to display text, but with gaps in it (subtitling a performance, but at times no-one is talking). Thanks for any help Nick

Hi all, I am currently working on a threaded implementation of a wiimote external. The reason I was hoping threaded design would help is to avoid dropped samples when issuing commands to wiimote (e.g. rumble/led status change). So far, it seems that reading from wiimote, no matter how fast, has
