It sounds as though the data transfer only needs to be mono-directional,Rajiv Ghanta said:hey roger,
sorry, but what do you mean by 'what you really need to do'? i need to
transfer ranging information from the sensor array to the laptop. the
PCMCIA slot is currently inhabited by a wireless card that the robot
needs to receive commands from the master control computer (basically
all i'm trying to say is the only PCMCIA slot on the laptop is not
available for use). there is no serial port on the laptop, otherwise
that would have been the first thing i would have looked into. you say
you heard of people getting the FTDI chips to work under QNX - any
chance i can get in touch with them? you are absolutely right about
the difficulty lying in the Neutrino Standard Services C++ Library
provided on the same website (http://gleb.qnx.org.ru/index_en.html). i
got compile errors when i tried to install the services. i translated
the russian manual, and it was not helpful at all.

not bi-directional. This alters the work involved in any of the
interfaces, hence my comment. There is also the question of the sort of
'rate' required?. There were some posts, quite a while ago, on one of the
'embedded control' groups, about getting the FTDI chips working with qnx,
and they did seem to manage it in the end. A Google search, might still
find this thread. It still would be the easiest solution.
