Yes it takes time, i've developed first version for a friend of mine who asked other friend to capture comms and send me info, since i'm 2500 miles away in another country, so that was first version, then when he had some issues i've bought 224XL which was broken, fixed it and figured issue out, then i decided to sell it on ebay, had to test it with other lexicons, so i've rented several other units...
Latest version is emulating i8749 and it has same features as original LARC (test modes...) and same bugs as well.
Original LARC has few bugs which most people in normal operation will never encounter, but could appear if 422 connection is bad...
Lot of time and money went into it, to make it right, don't know how much exactly since it was side project, and problem is it's niche market device, not sure how many units have lexicon sold over the years, and how many of those are still functional...
So one that's now listed on ebay will be the last one (kept one for my own 224XL), since importing components from China is more expensive now, i'm getting PCB's and custom plastic enclosures from there. So won't be making another batch.
) - is there any chance your LARC could be made to connect to a system running in a computer? I've been trying to convince them to support the original LARC (to ease engineer's transition when lex's are dying), but they shy away from hardware in any type and form.. Ya' know, young people nowadays.. :
