The VB code takes the raw sensor data string that the Arduino sends down the serial interface via the computer com port (the sketch I posted above makes this happen) and manipulates that into a set of data to be presented on the PC including a prediction of cloud cover based on ambient temperature, sky temperature and relative humidity.
A lot of the code is about the PC GUI that I've shown in previous screenshots in this thread. All up it is about 1000 lines of visual basic code. It also generates a text file that the generic Ascom driver reads to create an interface to image control software like SGP.
