Hello, I would like to use a lazy, purely functional language to create an experiement description (and execution!) language for cellular neuroscience, i.e. electrical recordings and stimulation. Unfortunately, this means I have to talk to a Analog-to-Digital/Digital-to-Analog converter board, with a precision of about 16 bit at a rate of 50 kHz. I currently have a National Instruments M-series board, but would be happy to try another board. I'm not looking for real-time control right now, but that might be of interest in the future. Has anyone looked at creating bindings to the NI-DAQmx drivers or the open-source COMEDI project, or similar hardware? Would anyone be interested in helping out with this driver binding? Regards Tom

I'm assuming there are existing C libraries for this? So a Haskell binding would just talk to these?
Yes. I guess I have to wait for chapter 19, then?

Just read the FFI Addendum: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ffi/ It's not complicated at all.
