Unhappy Re: how to build a VEX programming module

ok. i've gotten a 7 foot six conductor straight through rj11 cable from jameco, a max232 and a couple of jacks with wires hanging handily out the back, all for considerably less than the 25 foot monstrosity available at radio shack would have cost. 'til you factor in the shipping of course. but i would have had to order the max232 and the jacks anyway.

so here's my question. which pin does the program button use? i'm guessing rb3, since that port, assuming i've pulled up the right data sheet, can trigger interrupts. also i'm guessing i should connect the switch to ground since port b has internal pull ups.

another question might be has anyone figured out the function of the pin that connects to rj3?

lastly, has anyone got a clue about the api? is it too much to hope that libraries from the other ifi controllers, (with none of which have i any experience), would work?

well, that's it for now. time to hit the shower and head to work.

thanks.
