With the software from Perfectly Scientific or with your own custom applications, the bTop-1 puts a wealth of functionality at your disposal.

The bTop.app demonstrates the functionality of the bTop board — just plug in a board (or many boards) and you're in control.

Everything you need to get going with your own applications for the bTop, including support, documentation, and examples for controlling the bTop-1 from Cocoa apps, the UNIX command-line, C, and RealBasic.

These single call UNIX (or C) API's make it even easier than the original Cocoa interface to acquire your data or control your real world objects. Communicating with the bTop1 board using UNIX or C, a server now runs in the background so that initialization and monitoring of your bTop1 boards is handled for you, allowing you to concentrate on building your own app and not spending your development time supporting the bTop1. Included in the development tools are several example applications, a “Cookbook” and full source code.

What's New:
This version adds Unix, C and RealBasic interfaces to it's native Cocoa programming environment and provides a few minor bug fixes.
