Linux and W800RF32

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July, whether or not you were celebrating anything :o I spent mine with a concrete saw and a jackhammer.. running plumbing for a new bathroom remodel in the basement. Wheee.

Anyway, in my downtime I'm working on getting the W800 set up. I run a home linux server (ubuntu server atm). Currently I have heyu installed mainly because its very simple, and I'm just in the design/test phase so simple is better. I can execute commands (via cm17a) just fine, and my w800 can see all the palm remotes, but they don't show up as anything really useful.

When I check /dev/ttyS0 directly (code is from heyu man page) I get this result from A1 On:

Code:
stty -F /dev/ttyS0 4800 cs8 raw cread clocal -parenb -cstopb -echo
cat /dev/ttyS0 | xxd -g1 -c4

0000000: 60 9f 00 ff `...
0000004: 60 9f 00 ff `...
0000008: 60 9f 00 ff `...
000000c: 60 9f 00 ff `...
0000010: 60 9f 00 ff `...
0000014: 60 9f 00 ff `...

I've read about everything I can find.. does anyone have a resource or information that can better explain it to me?
 
If you put this question in Windows terms I might be able to help. It sounds like you are confused about the W800RF protocol. Is that correct?
 
Thanks for that link, it certainly explains the raw data coming out of the serial port.

Using 'heyu monitor' i get something different.. I get this..

heyu supports the w800.. and I've posted this on the heyu yahoo group as well. We'll see what comes out of it.
