Hello list,
To continue John's (ah, a fellow Delphile) theme,
there's an oldish Delphi program of mine called AndySnag available in Downloads
at...
It's a serial port keyboard stuffer which will send
characters received though the serial port to a selected windows application as
keypresses, allowing simple PC remote control.
It's a single exe file which displays a list of active
Window's applications along with COM port options (8 data, 1 stop
bit).
e.g. run Notepad
then AndySnag, highlight Notepad in the list, set your COM port
accordingly and press GO. Send serial characters to the port and
watch them miraculously appear in notepad.
It's a bit ruff but should work. There are a couple
of other Delphi apps which may be of interest to AVR-chatters; an update of Jack
Tidwell's (what ever did happen to Jack?) avr timing calculator and a simple
Timing Diagram editor.
The site is seriously in need of updating and most of the
apps have been revised so if there's any interest I'll put the latest versions
online.

I have updated a demo file of an application I wrote
with Delphi. It is a cross between Notepad and Hyperterm,
simple text files can be created and managed and then send
out to the serial port. In ASCII-CR mode the text is send
out followed by a carriage return. In packet mode it sends
the text out in a packet using 9 bit MPCM using our own
protocol for RS485.
The other end is of course a module with an AVR on it :-)
May end up putting the protocol and the driver (ASM) on the
website one of these days.
Regards
John Samperi
