Gambas ONE

I've change the subject to better fit what this thread is about. I was able to read (and decode) the USB stream from the DYMO M10 scale using Gambas and a couple shell commands. During this exercise I've learned the dymo scales uses a raw stream to output an array of 6 elements. After finding a Perl...
