Actually I've built the hardware for this purpose, it is connected using a standard RS232 port (for sending/receiving commands something about 9600 baud is enough, just for determining the RC's carrier frequency 115200 baud is necessary). All encodings etc. are done by a special chip, therefore timing is uncritical and the device can be used with any piece of hardware that can send bytes to a serial port. Unfortunately I lack the time to do the software. Marcel
