CAMPAC Programming with PC
 

[&o]Hi , I'm involved in computer programming , and my idea is to develop a software for managing data in futaba radios , (9CA/CH in particular) , I know that some products are already in the market , but they are NOT much user friendly
so : HAS ANYBODY INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL ?

My idea is to develop it and give for FREE to all the community of this RC-site.

I DON'T DO IT FOR MONEY , I DO IT FOR FUN!!

This is a great idea, how about adding the futaba 9z wc2....... good luck. Don Edberg might be able to help he sells the (I believe they are called the Ultrapacs 128K and 256K and writes the how to program the radio type books.

Yup, the place jbeynon mentioned is the place to obtain info on the serial interface to get your PC to talk to the module. The only problem is that the "kit" is no longer available and you'll have to cobble it up yourself. I haven't done that yet 'cause I've been waiting for somebody like you :D to come along and do the hard part. If you can come up with a good GUI-based solution I'll be first in line!!

Good luck!

Don't mean to sound dumb, but what are you trying to program on the PC? Isn't it easier to put the radio in the plane, set it up so it works exactly like you want it to, and then turn it off? Then the campac is programmed. Are you just shooting to get things close in the putter then fine tune the radio?
