can i create a graphic interface

I have some experience with the BS2 and ECU tuning. My question is can I control a BS2 or any microcontroller through a graphics interface like that found on modern fuel injection tuning software. I would like to be able to change the variables in the program of the microcontroller in real time and send signal from the microcontroller to the graphics interface. Can you tell me if such a product exists? Is there any other microcontrollers being made that uses a graphics interface.

    The closest thing to this sort of thing would be StampPlot Pro (www.selmaware.com) or using a PINK Internet interface and a web browser with an appropriate web page design. The latter would give you the most flexibility. The Stamp can request or change the value of a variable at any time and that's accessible to the web page (like as a Javascript variable).

    There is nothing that can directly affect the values of Stamp Basic variables. The Stamp remains the "master" and has to communicate with the PC or PINK "slave" to provide values or to fetch their current values.

    Several people here have made "front ends" for their programs in VB or VC. Other graphics front ends are possible if you can send and receive serial data with your program. That being said it will be up to you to write the program and when you do I for one would like to see it published here.

    There are LCDs and touchscreens of various sizes that can be programmed with the look and feel of what you want. The touch screen would send RS232 data strings out to a PLC or controller or a STAMP in this case. I believe Nuts & Volts recently had an ad for a more consumer friendly display than an industrial heavy duty display. What was it....

    (google searching...)

    Comfile Technologies! They have a few different products and I am not sure which one is best or in your price range. Maybe something like the intelligent LCD
