Holy shiznitz!
Labview is proper expensive - $4k+ for the full version. I wonder if my uni has it....by the looks of what I've read, it still requires the c+ code from MPLAB to control a PIC etc.
daArry - I checked MIOS out a while ago, but I will look again, if it will make life easier then thats great. I've noticed you've raved about the ucapps stuff before - the control surfaces look awesome.
Cheers for the heads up again.
