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?

Re: Joystick Ports as Duplex Data Port

Yeah, you probably need a RS232 converter cable, though. Luckily, Axim x50 series RS232 cables are readily available (but for the steep-arse price of $50).
