I've been working on a new firmware / communication protocol for VDAC devices that will both bring new functionality and simplify communications between VDAC devices and the Venturii Module VDAC. As Mark has pointed out, this ambiguity is sub-optimal, since it is not always clear when talking about VDAC if we are referring to the modules themselves (hardware), the code they run (firmware) or the interface module for talking to downstream devices and interfacing that data with Venturii Decider (software.) VDAC stands for Venturii Data Acquisition & Control, and is an over-arching term that encompasses a lot of different aspects of this project. Mark is correct though, we need some better terms to distinguish between the hardware, firmware and software components of this system. Since creating names for things is not my forte, I'm open to suggestions.
