XM controlled through rs232 and GPS through rs232
Alrighty then.
Reading, and reading, and reading. Many posts about problems with USB devices working properly after coming out of hibernate/standby.
Was looking to circumvent the intermediary step of putting a device on a USB connection and running a port emulator to make it look like a com port.
So what I've been looking for is:
1) A good GPS antenna (possibly a BU 353) that connects to the PC through the Com port.
2) A cable (manufactured, dont wanna make one) that will let me control my XM tuner (an old xmd 1000 type) through the PC (front end) via a com port.
Searched here, googled, nada ., . .
Anyone have any ideas ? Am I barking up an imaginary tree ?
Should I just ignore all the complaints and just run them through the USB?
