OCW is a scripting language and interpreter for controlling complex operations of valves and pumps in microfluidic devices. The interpreter program uses parallel ports to interface with any automation project. The program runs on Linux and Windows.
Be the first to post a text review of OCW Language and Interpreter. Rate and review a project by clicking thumbs up or thumbs down in the right column.
I've very nearly finished porting OCW to C, meaning that it will finally compile and run on Windows (djgpp compiler) as well as Linux (gcc compiler). Also the syntax of the OCW language has been cleaned up dramatically and is now more reminiscent of standard C syntax. Will be uploading v1.0 very soon, --Will
Some much-needed improvements to OCW are in the works, including porting the interpreter to C++ for better cross-platform portability and performance, expanding the language to include some useful new operations, improving the runtime user interaction functions a bit, making the "w" timing a bit more accurate and less processor-intensive, etc. etc. etc. Fingers crossed; spare time to work on this is hard to come by, but we'll see. More later, --wgrover
Mostly several minor bugfixes from version 0.90 as I slowly get better at Perl. The preamble commands "armed" and "negate" now work correctly. The Makefile has been cleaned up a bit; still only Linux is supported. Read INSTALL for all the information.

The Makefile has been cleaned up a bit; still only Linux is supported. Read INSTALL for all the information. The Makefile now creates a Perl executable named "ocw" and optionally installs "ocw" and the helper "linux" program to /usr/local/bin.
A "beta" if there ever was one, OCW v0.9 is now available for download. Still many rough edges that I will hopefully address soon. Hope somebody out there finds it useful! --wgrover
