It's actualy pretty easy. Take the analog RCX output, integrate, S&H, A/D,
serialize and then send to a MAX232 devices and wallah, RS-232.
----- End of forwarded message from Jim Choate -----
Obviously that should be PWM RCX output. Sorry, I mis-typed because I was
thinking of another way to convert the signal.
Take the output and look for every positive going edge. Then start a clock
that counts until the falling edge. It would get stored and the counter
would be cleared for the next positive going edge. The number could be fed
to a digital resistor and create an analog output via some sort of R-2R
network. You could also send the number directly to the RS-232 as data and let
the software convert it to a usable value. Since the PRR of the PWM output
would be known, as well as the counter rate, it becomes reasonably easy to
calculate what the effective signal is.
