OK I got it working...
I actually had to use this one:
http://kevin.org/frc/2005/edu_serial_ports_0.3.zip
from here:
http://kevin.org/frc/2005/
Since I'm using the Edu-RC...
Anyway It works great obviously (it's Kevin's code..
) and I managed to work with the serial port a bit:
Using the IFI Loader terminal window I sent the controller a 0 (zero) or a 1 and have it reply: "This is The One." or "This is not The One." accordingly.
In the process I hopelessly wrecked my phone's serial communication port while trying to solder wires to it
so I'll have to get another phone....
Thanks for the Help.... I think I have got it figured out... Reading the data from the phone may yet pose a problem (what with buffers and stuff like that) but i'll post back when I get to that bridge if there is any problem...
Thanks again!
