Having spent only a few hours cooking up the first vb app to talk to my array, I shouldn’t be surprised that its performance was rather lack luster, not to mention the wiggly lines on the bar graph although visually stimulating really offered nothing in terms of interpretation.

Here is a view of the new application… I’ve re-designed a good deal of the internals, and changed the graph around so it represents more clearly the data being received from the array. Each row in the bargraph represents a row in the array, and the height of each bar indicates the amount of light the sensor is receiving.
So as I interact with the array, the bars follow along.
