half true, half not. Your PC does communicate directly with the RC via the Programming port. The only reason why you still need the OI is that otherwise the master uP stops execution of the Stamp when it doesn't detect a signal from the OI. Strictly speaking, the OI just sits there. In fact, it doesn't even send any important data to the RC as the only things that are present in the Serin command are the sensors and switches.

If anybody knows how to fool the RC into thinking it has a signal, let me know.

I haven't tried to reverse-engineer the packets yet as the documentation specifically says NOT to plug the tether into a computer and I am terrified of frying my serial ports. If anyone has an old computer they are willing to try this on, let me know and I'll send you some code to run and ask you to return the output to me.
