Anyone ever do this? I am interested in being able to write basic code that lets me use my existing radio programming cables to communicate with other things. For example, if I monitor the communication between an old radio and its dos program with my scope, or watch the PLL data lines in a radio, I want to be able to write a windows program to send the data. I know, use a microcontroller. I don't want to. I want to learn to interface with stuff using their existing I/O pins.
I wouldn't mind being able to plug in my M1225 programming cable and be able to generate MIDI output or morse code on the serial cable's TX pin.
So far, I understand that with the cable drivers installed, I treat the cable as I would a standard com port. The code to communicate with com ports is out there to find, just haven't dove into it yet. Is there anyone here that has experience doing this?
