Hello Mike. To my knowledge, there are no nicely packaged pieces of
software that run on a PC under Windows for generally commanding
devices over the serial port. People have to write their own
interfaces using Visual Basic, etc, and which is a nontrivial
endeavor. OTOH, you can use a simple ASCII interface to command the
OOPic using a terminal emulator like Hyperterm or Teraterm running on
the PC.
You just use the serial port objects on the OOPic to interpret the
commands. I have OOPic code here .... see bottom of page for the jp1-
1.txt file. It uses ASCII "F" for forward. "B" for backward, etc.

This program operates either directly via serial port connection, or
via RF-link as I use it.
