you said it has a kind of serial protocol.

Why don't you use the serial port? maybe using an interconnector with, if
needed, a transistor or ic to reverse the voltages or similar ...

I tried something similar (getting frequencies depending on
resistance/temperature into linux) on the serial port -and ended using the
joystick port, because there's a resistance measure already there :-) so
the whole problem disappeared. Now I just do open(/dev/js0) and read() -
and get all i want without any kernel modification.

maybe there's some other way to get your data in?

regards,

ph.
