Projects
DrDAQ Application Project
The DrDAQ Application Project intends to build applications which surround the parallel port version of the DrDAQ Data Logger.
As it is with any Open Source project, the DrDAQ application project can only grow and prosper if the people using the code give something back in return.
If you are an experienced Linux developer or kernel hacker the project could use your contributions.
The code is written with the KISS philosophy in mind. As such even a novice C programmer could study and understand the code. So even if you are just starting out as a Linux developer your contribution to this effort is welcome.
