I have a simple Dash program in QBASIC (and QuickBASIC v4.0) for those of you who need it. Just email me at
me@endeavour.zapto.org if you want a copy.
There were other excellent ideas we were throwing around at one point, to give each person on the field a headset, and connect them to sound-outs of the dashboard on a laptop. That way, when events occured, such as low power, overcurrent, etc, the commanders could hear it, in addition to a full voice chat system between the 4 people out there. I have some schematics if you are interested as well.
