My arduino is getting some attention again - a change of topic from PC hardware frustration and truck hardware frustration.

Just as a review, this is what I'd like the Arduino to do, at the end of the project:
- interface to GPS - accept data in standard format, parse, save info to memory and to file
- interface to PLC - accept data in text format, parse, save info to memory and to file
- select data from memory and display locally
- select data from memory and send out USB to local PC
- interface with Labview, data exchange

When I last visited the Arduino, I had trouble with the 4D OLED shield.

But many things did go together quite quickly:
- the ethernet shield was working to display data to an extremely simple web display, running wired to my router, and wireless from there to my PC or Nook tablet
- the sketch read standard data from my laptop (same format as the data will be from the PLC) and displayed it on the serial monitor to the PC as well as to the web page

The things that are left:
- get the 4D OLED to display local data
- get a second serial port working so that serial data can come from the PLC and GPS
- get datalogging to work to an SD card
- re-load labview and get it to work with the Arduino as a data source
- communicate via OBD II with existing truck equipment
