Well, now that we know what the real code looks like, it should be easy to redo my code so that it's transparent to the rest of your code. At the time though I didn't know what the real code was going to look like. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do this right now, but maybe someone else could. Basically, I'd just override the Getdata() function that goes and grabs the data from the '03 EDU and returns it in the same struct as the real 04 controller uses. It shouldn't be hard to do this so that the same code will work on either the EDU or the real controller.
Also, the advantage of using this serial method is that you can get the OI digital switches, enabled/disabled bit, etc. as well. If you just use the PWMs, you'd either have to settle for no buttons from the OI or you'd have to make software changes to send the button values over a PWM.
