# Spoggle Console Application

## Introduction

A contraction of "serial port toggle", this simple console application is a menu driven application used to test use of your serial ports for use as digital output. In the context of the nikon D3 upgrades, to minimize electronics, the Falcon EPU fanout board included an optoisolated pair of transistors intended to be used to trigger the camera capture in hardware. The first opto set is attached to the transmit lines of one UART. The second trigger is attached to a handshaking (RTS) line on another serial port, which can be used for a monostate purpose, such as controlling a solid state switch used to power external devices.

## Program Usage

The application has only one option, used to define the device to attach to, usually a `COM<x>` designation.

	spoggle -d <COMX>

## Requirements

This code was built using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 and is compiled for Win32 machines running Windows 7 or newer.
