Re: Joystick Ports as Duplex Data Port
Yeah, we're trying to do something similar on our team. We have a palm pilot, and some software that emulates an LCD screen with it, and we're hoping to be able to use it to remotely display statistics (wheel speed, pot positions, etc.)

We just started working on it, so I'm still having trouble figuring out exactly how to output to the LCD manually and everything.

Anyway... I'd probably just plug it into the Dashboard port if I plan to interface to it, then?
