<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Can you tell me please what the PC output consists of when running RoboRun in RC mode? Does the PC output mimic the output of a RC receiver?

If you launch Roborun while the controller is configured in RC mode, it will be switching to RS232 mode temporarily (i.e. until next reset). All commands and data exchanged by the PC and the controller are in RS232.

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Can the Roboserver software run on anything "lighter" then a PC? I was thinking of a Pocket PC or Palm unit. My goal with the Roboteq product is remote WiFi control.

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">we contemplated the idea of using a PDA on the robot side at one time. Roboserver is excessively simple, taking data from a TCP/IP socket and moving them, as-is on the serial port.

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">You will need to find a software development environment for the PDA that will give you access to its OS's network API.
