I found a source for RS232 to TTL cables but there seem to be two choices- 3.3V or 5V TTL chipsets. It looks like the 5V is the more typical converter, is that the cable I should purchase to connect?
Really looking forward to trying this out! Just have to get my motor back together...

Steve -
You may be able to make those cables work with some modification. But I would suggest getting the SerialLink on Danno's website: http://www.gururacing.net
Look at the price chart.

Thanks, I hadn't checked if Danno had the cables for sale. It would make more sense for the long run to go with USB rather than serial anyway...
Cheers!

wait CPT,
your program doesn't work with USB??
That may be the solution because I'm using the serialLink with a serial->USB convertor because the laptop doesn't have a serial port...

That would do it! I don't have a USB Link yet. I need to borrow one to enable that functionality. I will get one soon and get up to speed!

The location is different for different versions of windows. I believe what I posted is for WinXP.
Of course you could just dump the OCX in the application directory, it'll be guaranteed to find the file then. You will probably have to run regsvr32 on it again if you move it, though.

Yeah, that's cool... hey by the way, I can help you out if you like once I get enough money saved up for a MAP kit, I work as a programmer; mainly do C++ stuff though...
