Re: [DIYbio] OpenPCR + Terminal: Any leads?

I don't have an OpenPCR, so I can't test exactly... but I think strace
might work (I posted the problem to the blktrace group, and they
responded saying blktrace doesn't dump the actual data)

strace -e trace=write ../path/to/openPCRapplication

If that doesn't show the actual data being written, it might be
another strace option
