Hi,
I've carefully read all data on this board regarding LCD pinouts and
th=
e work flow approximations. (Message #38, and the .doc file)
With this info=
and and some coffee i decided to hack the LCD module of
one of my 2 mailst=
ation DTE1, and hook it up to the parallel port of
my PC.
Of course i reali=
zed there's not enough data on this matter to proceed
with this task (timin=
gs, and so on...), i know most of the
documentation for this little baby is=
done by pure brute force hacking. :)
Still i wonder if any one has reached=
some level of communications
with the LCD ????
Any help will be very appre=
ciated.
Benjamin.

What is it you are trying to do with this LCD unit ??
Maybe there is a better way ???

I'd love to replace the main board with one of my own. I'd have to build a
driver for the LCD display or find a way to salvage the existing one.
I want to build a custom wireless serial terminal and the mailstation is an
excellent form factor for that.

Let me save you some time and hassle, if by what you are saying as a
wireless serial
terminal you mean something to call a paging company, and enter a page, then
it
would be cheaper and easier to go to EBAY and pick up an Alphamate or
Wordsender
unit. They are already setup to do that, have a modem in them, and are
pretty cheap,
between $ 10 to $25 each.
If you mean to send SMS (texting) to your cell phone, then you are going to
have to do a lot
of work and then find a program that will do SMS from whatever CPU unit you
have
hooked up to that mailstation. I don't think the CPU chip on the mailstation
will work for
that use, it probably does not have the sufficient memory to run a SMS
program.
However, some carriers (both Paging and Cellular) do have an Email gateway
(SMTP), that will let you
send an email to your Pager or Cell phone number. In that respect, the
mailstation would work
as it was originally configured, and would just send an email to that
address. The Carrier's
gateway computer would then get it and send it to your Pager or Cell Phone
unit.
You can either sign up with Earthlink or re-configure the DET1 by the "hack"
on here and
get on somebody else's ISP service.

I need a portable TTL serial device to communicate with microcontrollers. I
use serial communications to debug software and a wireless, portable device
would make my life a lot easier. I use a laptop now which is overkill for
what I need. I want to write a custom interface specific to the projects
that I do, primarily robotics and home automation. I've already decoded the
keyboard and built a prototype board, but I had to go with a different
graphic LCD which doesn't fit the original case.
There are a few handheld serial terminals available commercially but none
have the formfactor of a mailstation.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. Since I want to make it wireless, I'll end
up needing to customize any unit that I find. I was considering the mail
station because of the graphic LCD, but I may take a look at the Tandys and
see if I can hack the LCD in one of those. I've not had much luck on the
mailstation so far...

Here are a few laptops ready to work for this purpose:
Model 100, 200, 102
Tandy WP-2
Cambridge Z88
Amstrad NC100, NC200
All have similar form factor to the Mailstation, and actually have much
better keyboards. They all have a built-in terminal program. The WP-2, Z88,
NC100, NC200 will give you an 80 column screen. However I like the
simplicity and the community of users of the Model T: Tandy 102 and Tandy
200 myself, though these units only have a 40 column screen.

It might be easier to hack the base unit for a
mailstation 350 wireless to bypass the modem. As for
the tandy 100s and wp2 laptops, the serial ports are
not ttl compatible, but in the case of the model 100,
they have a system bus that is accessible.
