AEM Remote Commander
 

I already posted this on AEM's site but I wanted to know which Hackers would be interested in getting this off the ground, what I'm thinking is getting a Windows CE or Palm compiler and trying to get the values that the AEM spits back (Serial) into a GUI interface that you can bring up on a handheld interface, and therefore monitor and possibly make minor adjustments without getting the laptop out. Sort of like the Dashboard Module on the AEM software but possibly better looking :) (yes that was a crack on AEM) LOL.

I can code the interface and get the values to display, what I'd need help with is building (Coding) a USB or Serial interface that would dump a Matrix of variables, out to an Array that I'd be able to pull values from.
Anybody that has an Aem interested in a joint venture like this !?

Wow. If you do it, there will be a market,...that is for sure.

Why don't you just run the datalog from AEM on the Palm with a USB to serial port adapter?

btw, from the response on the forum and AEM site, there isn't a whole lot of market compared to the work and support required to make this product launch.

I wouldn't recommend USB/serial adapters for use on this thing. Have a search through the forum. More than one user has lost the programming from glitched comms due to the way most USB/serial adapters work.

Why there's no packet checksum to protect against corrupted packets, I don't know. And it's that lack of protection that's keeping me from really seriously trying to get a look at the communications protocol. When I hacked the PowerFC, I was relatively sure I wouldn't be doing any damage. The EMS has me a bit scared, so I'm not terribly interested in having a go just yet.

Also, I don't think the software runs on WinCE or PocketPC devices (and almost definately won't run on Palms).
