Sounds like an interesting idea.... Wow, yes, exactly what i wanted. im sorry about this. But if you thing the LED and button idea is good, go for it, because its not bad either. but the external connector is just what i needed. > > -Move connection > > One Problem i had with ktechlab is, you cant move the connections > > manualy.

Ah, wasnt easy to find that pulldown menu for manual connections.. dont ask me why, even when i was reading the doc about it i was looking at my screen for 2 minutes before i found it.

Thank you again. ktechlab is now perfect for work in my class :-) great :-) thank you very very much |
