New to the group, ordered the pot and display , been sketching out an arduino
circuit to handle the ascii strings coming in from the serial port and
stripping out this info. This looks much simpler. I've got a opt+, and a
TC2m plus I've built W2FS kit TNC-X (PIC based, just a kiss modem only, very
limited) Great job on the Argent Data system tracker 2. I run an old HP100 PDA
(no back light) in my mobile setup and can see the aprs traffic scroll by but
this screen will do the trick much better. Is the screen circuit going to
disable the rs232 line? I send and receive limited messages and talk with my
base station using messages. (running DigiNed and UIview32 in my shack) Still
may replace the terminal with an AVR butterfly to handle the basic commands
like digi on and BEA, POS etc. Will post some pictures and schematics. Have
some old DB25 cables I'll sacrifice for this project. 73 Mike.
