I'm very interested - however I have a Nokia N800 and know very little
about Palms despite having one on each hand. Oh, wait, that's a
different kind of palm.
On the alltrax site they claim the data protocols are proprietary and
state they will not give any documentation. So I haven't bothered to
ask. However as a Mac or Linux owner and not using Windoze in any way
it's been a little frustrating to consider. But to do what you've done
you must have been able to work out the commands?
I'm not interested in doing programming on the Palm platform ...Are you
interested in posting your source and someone (?I?) could port it to
other platforms?

In order to take data on my EM, I ended up building an Alltrax ATX
monitor. It runs on a Palm PDA with serial I/O (I use a Vx) and it
monitors the available parameters (motor amps, battery volts, throttle
%, and controller temp). It also calculates battery amps. Data can be
logged. Sample screen at:

I have it so you can set alarms. For example, if motor amps goes above
an alarm, the amp reading goes to inverse video.
Palm Vxs go cheap on ebay. Anyone interested in something like this,
or have I reinvented a wheel?
