Writing the software wouldn't be hard, especially if you used Linux (Serial port access is simpler).

If anyone out there has anything like this please post or PM it... While having a full-fledged dashboard is nice, I would much prefer a terminal type readout.
A dashboard port related question, the data transfer through it is output only, correct?
