Abstract: We discuss a general formalism for numerically evolving initial data in general relativity in which the (complex) Ashtekar connection and the Newman-Penrose scalars are taken as the dynamical variables. In the generic case three gauge constraints and twelve reality conditions must be solved. The analysis is applied to a Petrov type {1111} planar spacetime where we find a spatially constant volume element to be an appropriate coordinate gauge choice.
