Re: Joystick Ports as Duplex Data Port
A better idea would be a sort of lookup table. You would have a table in your dashboard program, with stuff like:
"Battery voltage %i"
"Doing something - %i %i"
"I broke something"

Then, the RC would set say User_Byte1 to the correct value, and the rest of the user bytes to the parameters for that message. The dashboard program would then read those and display the proper message. Just using User_Byte1, you could have 255 messages..
