Accu-cycle plus pc interface
Can't find any info on a cable for the pc data interface. Need ideas on where to purchase a cable (tower search completed and nada).
Anyone know the data format?

I have both models of the Accu-Cycle on my bench, the Plus and the Pro.
Neither has a port for a pc data interface. What am I missing here? Has Hobbico added something that I'm not aware of? It's not on their web site description of the chargers.

The plus I have has a port that looks like a headphone plug on the back. The manual mentions the "pc data interface" on page one.

I read that when I bought mine, but there was never one made. So I just bought the optional field charger unit. Oh well, Daz...

Accu-cycle plus pc interface
How do we know that a PC interface was never made? Has anyone ever contacted Hobbico?
Anyway, here's another idea: about a couple of weeks ago i got, from Radio Shack, their 22-805 digital multimeter with PC interface (regular $60) for $40 on clearance. It's a pretty neat meter even without the PC interface so this was a great deal. Has 20 amp range, and DOS and Windows software. I don't know if it's still on sale or discontinued, but you might want to check it out.

I contacted hobbico. No interface was ever released. I requested the cable configuration and data format to make my own cable.
Spoke with a friend who I would consider an expert at this type of stuff, he said it would take very little time to figure out.
Would anyone be interested in having a graph of battery performance?
My ginzel spectra does the graphing and I don't know how I survived without it!
