I had thought about the battery but figured I'd see what happens. I think maybe now I'll just plan on another 8-AA NiMH pack. Thanks for the reply!

Just make sure your power supply is up to the task. Probably need more than a 9V battery. Nope, no harm in that. Just make sure your power supply is up to the task.

One of the serial to bluetooth adapters I'm looking at can get power from pin 9. It takes 5VDC and it looks like it uses 100mAh Is there any harm in jumpering the 5VDC power for the encoders over to pin 9 of the db9 connector?

But make sure you have hyperterminal configured for the correct serial port, buad rate, etc. (9600 baud, 8 bits, one stop bit, no parity, no flow control). If you're certain you have the right port, it's likely that your board has a problem. Follow the troubleshooting steps given on the web page and let me know what you see. Dave Gary,

I haven't installed the driver yet. Do I need that in place before testing with hyperterminal? I am testing the board with Hyperterminal but do not get a response after typing “Q”.

Read through everything I could find and found no info regarding these. Thanks Randy Hi Dave,

I would like to incorporate it in a larger PIC. Thanks, John Hello Dave,

I used an Atmega 32 for a different astro project and learned to program it (a little bit!). I would love to use this microcontroller for a DSC project! Thanks in advance, Hermann Hello Andrey,

Could you send me the source? Thanks, Bojan Hi Dave,
