FLTK (Ruby/FLTK) can help you with the slider part, but not
with anything related to the serial port.

Do you already have an FLTK slider? Are you already
catching its events? If not, I should be able to help with
that. 

If so, then it sounds like you're looking for help with
serial port issues, and someone else on the list would have
to help with that. 

You mention winsock, which I thought dealt with TCP/IP and
not raw serial port access. TCP/IP is easier and more
portable across platforms, so if you can go that route I
would recommend it.

Please, tell us more about what you've done so far, and
specifically what you need help with.

Kevin
