drive and get informations from microcontroler (pic-for exsample);so i have to make grafic interface (like SCDA)and conect it on microcontroler.Does it exsist any program (like wisual basic) to make it in linux.?
I m intresed in linux because i need softwer for free. The idea for my project is to make work economic aplication with microcontroler with grafic control of situation and compare it with profesional PLC.
