I work a lot with equipment that has serial console port and in lot of situations I need to access that equipment remotely. Now I use colleagues equipped with notebooks so last night I was looking on Internet for some ip2com solution but those devices are expensive and they can't be programed on site. Idea is to have board like this.

Device would act as serial to telnet adapter. And you could set ip address and com port parameters by pressing two buttons while device is powering (there could be third reset button) and using one button to increase/change value and other button to advance to next digit/parameter so you would have DHCP: A(utomataic)/S(tatic) IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Broadcast: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx GW: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port: xxxxx Baud: xxxxxx Parity: N/O/E/S/M DataBits: 5/6/7/8
Can anyone project price for this board? Any ideas suggestions...
I bought RC helicopter yesterday and it's IR one so first thing I did is to see what IR Toy has to say about it First thing i noticed is that when you for example push throttle it I guess sends command and then for next couple seconds continues to emit something like data stream. I recorded couple seconds with irtoy.exe and replayed successfully. Then I wanted to see in OLS how the stream looks... And then I saw that there is limit to 1k for irtoy Because Im not programmer but occasionally write some vb code and lately use autoit mostly for simple things I made in autoit simple program to convert irtoy.exe hex data from .bin file to ols file format... quick sample that i tried works ok ... anyway... here is source and compiled exe ... you just select bin file and ols file is created next to it... you can use and modify code as you wish
I saw miniscope v3 on the net and contacted Tomasz Ostrowski asking about Bus Pirate support... Since he does not have Bus Pirate I gave him access to my computer with Bus Pirate attached to it... He made dll for BusPirate... and it's available for download alongside of miniscope at:
For now it only has only manual trigger. Features that can be added are: rising/falling edge trigger, "continuos trigger" (continuous streaming), variable sampling rate (Bus Pirate has single sampling frequency but library could simulate lower sampling frequencies by data decimation)
