getting MBM5 to see the 633

[duroncrush]

I'd like to be able to use MBM5 monitor the temp and fan read outs from my 633 (should I ever get the 633 working)


Is this possiable and more importantly can a nonprograming person do it?

I don't see that happening without some coding. As for how to start, Jim at Benchtest.com put together some code so that he could wire thermistors to his gameport and pull the temperature readings to MBM5. Here is his source code:

At the moment MBM doesnt have the internal structure to support the 633.
It is being worked on though, and when thats done, i will probably write a small App that will feed the 633 info into MBM.

Will you lose a lot of resolution in the porting? MBM is integer-based right? I don't think fractional C values would be carried over (hope I am wrong though)
