Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi
Now that we have MMBasic on the Pi I was wondering if one the Linux gurus could assist?

I have a some data acquired via the serial port that MMBasic can handle and creates a file with the desired content. I would like to overlay this files contents on static image using the Pi's standard video interface (composite in my case). The file will change every few minutes so I assume the static image will need to be refreshed and the file contents redisplayed.

I have seen FIM but the text overlay is to rigid and you cannot place the text were you want. (And the text bit looks real ugly) FIM

So in a nutshell does anybody know how to do this or at least point me in the correct direction.

Many thanks
Jman
