Re: Sending data back to the OI

No, not really.

The problem isn't sending a signal to a joystick port, there are some LED level lines available to you to light some LEDs if you like, the problem is there isn't enough power available that way to power an alarm. Outside power sources aren't allowed to be used in conjunction with the joystick ports.

However, you can send data to the dashboard port and have something like a laptop hooked there sound an alarm.
