crazy idea - or not?

[figuerres]

Take a PocketPC and some kind of USB adpater and hook it up to a bunch of Tunze gear ?

I develop software for a living, have a few older HP and Toshiba PPC's I can play with....

*IF* I had the hardware interface I could write a PPC app that could do many functions, send serial commands, log data etc...

has anyone looked at doing this?

most PPC's have a port that is a USB port when you plug in the right adapter, with the storage, touch screen etc... seems well suited to this... and many of them have wireless / 802.11 so they could link up with a pc to allow remote access, data dump, and other stuff....

Tunze staff: any possible support on this idea ?
I think the power supply and plug adapters would still need to be from Tunze, just have a USB / Serial plug and commands to send / recive .... could be a great package I think.

We have been looking into doing this and have had a few people say they could do it and never follow through. Unfortunately I cannot get the pin out data, the reason is the electrician will not release it and it is a sore spot as he gets upset someone is trying to take his job. I will try again but if you are serious about this send me a PM and I will discuss it with Mr. Tunze. In all honesty my dream gadget would be iPod based since it is a much more common item than a PPC.
