New software to connect your StackMat to your PC.

probably not, but you can just use as many extension cables as you need. you could use either a male-female d9 serial cable (like i do, mine is about 2m (~7ft)), or a male-female 2.5mm headphone jack cable (which is probably harder to find). whichever is cheaper.

i'll post instructions how to make one on the sourceforge if enough people sound genuinely interested in trying it

I would be interested in creating such a cable on my own. How about linux? Since its java, it should work, right? Or are there any OS specific things in your serialport code? Did you test it with linux?

Nice work! Thanks!

I've not tested it on linux but it should work with a little tinkering (not the installer obviously).
i'm away this weekend but can do it next week if you serious about giving it a try.
I've got ubuntu on a box at home. if you cant wait that long, just check out the source.
you'll need to change the build.xml slightly to point to your jre and also to use the correct RXTXCommDriver .

next week i'd like to make some changes to it to take these sort of properties from a simple properties file.
I was also going to add the feature for the software to optionally output the times it collects to a separate file so that people can write plugins or just do their own analysis in a spreadsheet.
