The problem is going to be SB. It wants only serial input and doesn't know how to deal with IP data streams. So, if you go with SB, you'll probably have to say goodbye to the Mono GUI. But, there is a possible workaround... Install ser2sock (from Nutech) and have ser2sock connect to the ad2usb serial stream and share that stream over an IP network. Then find a socket to serial convertor like socat, netcat/nc, MultiCom, remserial or others and create a virtual serial port for SB to listen to. I am sure this can be done. But, I spent a fair amount of time trying to make this work and always ran into one problem or another. YMMV

Yes. I have converted my VistaICM script to work with the ad2usb. It is quite stable for reading data. But, there are still occasional problems with ser2sock when sending data to the panel from Indigo/shell scripts. Note that if you use this script you will need to know some basic Perl and also still have to run ser2sock if you want to run the Mono GUI.

The Perl script interface will do that. PM me your email address and I will be glad to send you the ad2usb Perl interface package.
