serial to wireless ethernet adapter

I'm also interested if there are anymore people who have done this mod successfully. It does work, there just has to be a way to have cleaner data coming back to the PC. For the most part my connection works, someitme i just get weird timer names and weird symbols. It seems like it doesn't matter is you use the virtual serial port or just use the ip of the router, the results are the same.

I just ordered an ACIII so no need for me to tinker with the mod anymore but like i said, this one does work, but its just flakey at times.

Your transmission problems might be caused by the Sipex SP233AEP chip you are using. It requires a 5v power supply and the WRT54G only has a 3v going to the transceiver.

You should use the MAX3232 instead. It is designed to work with 3.3v and it should solve your level errors.
 
Interesting boboxx...I guess you could just fabricate a little box for it or something. I wonder if it would transmit the info correctly.

I wonder...on such a hot topic...why Neptune hasn't come up with some sort of wireless situation for the AC Jr.

if anyone is looking to get a simple Serial to Ethernet module have a look at this:

I'm tempted to buy one of these. I looked up more on it and found

WIZ110SR is based on WIZnetââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s TCP/IP-offload IC W5100 with built-in Ethernet driver stage. Set-up for WIZ110SR is very easy with the configuration software provided. Three different modes of operation are supported: TCP server, TCP client, and UDP. TCP guarantees data delivery, but UDP doesnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t require acknowledgement, so communication can be faster. Once the TCP client and server have established connection, data can be transparently transmitted bi-directionally. WIZ110SRââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s IP Address can be manually assigned (static IP), or IP, subnet and gateway address can be acquired from the DHCP server automatically. Serial commands can be hardware- or software-triggered.

It looks perfect to use in this situation. You would configure it as a TCP server and assign it a static IP.
 
I will give it a try for sure :c)

running a cat5 is not a issue for me and will be better in the long run anyway compared to wireless...
 
I will just stick in a small box... but not sure yet. I will get the module first to see how big it is

REALLY? Man i just ordered an ACIII, i would much rather spend the money on a different chip than the $400 for a new controller.

I'm currently running a WRT150N Linksys router in my home.
My question is will the Linksys WGA600N work as my bridge for the ACIII?

Yes it should work fine but a WGA11B or WGA54G would be cheaper.
