1. Learn about GNU/Linux. This will enable you to write more sophisticated programs with features such as multiprocessing, multi-threading, interprocess communication, and interaction with hardware devices.

2. Use this knowledge to scrap the appalling, bug infested 'BETA!' interface and a create a new (bugfree) version. (The update FS have supplied is still useless).

3. Learn simple electronics and then you'll understand the conveters interaction with the software, then you'll understand how to modify it (with bits from Maplins!).

4. Good Luck
