Remember the serial is at TTL levels, so you'll need both a 5v PSU and a MAX232 level shifter to hook it to the empeg serial.



Could you help on this? I'm extremely interested in getting something like this up and running (hell, I just bought a display. Heh.). I can do the software (All *I* need/want is song info, visuals can stay down on the player.), just not too good with making new circuits. I figure I can get the 5v from the car's mains (using a VR and some resistors to keep it down), but not sure what else is required for the MAX232.. I have a Mini (pics below), and I have a perfect place to mount it - right in FRONT of the Tach, behind the steering wheel. As close to a HUD as a Mini can get.
