Mike, Do you have a third box you can run the Alltrax software on and to snoop on the conversation use one of these: Those are some nifty gizmos! From what little I've read so far, it looks like RealTerm can can sit in the background and snoop on other apps using the com port but you need to

Any luck with that Alltrax? Have you been able to make any progress as far as monitoring it from a terminal window? Nope. None yet. Which program were you using when you got the feedback from the controller? I'm beginning to play with my 7245 I have here... The software from Alltax works li

I'm assuming you've used the Axe controller software successfully **prior** to testing the terminal programs. On other projects I have seen what appears Yeppers. I did that first as it's a 'known'. Then I tried the terminal apps and when I didn't get very far with them I went back to the Axe

Here is what I get out of the doc. You need to send the controller a command and it will send you a response. If you want to get the Battery voltage you need to send it 5B 04 39 00 00 98 Okay. I got the terminal apps that Phillipe suggested and they are most helpful. I put one (forget wh
