Question I need help reading cougar outputs

Hi everybody.

I need some serious help. My EV is nearly finished. It is driving, but I still need to finish the instrumentation.

I purchased my open revolt fully completed, and it works great, but the guy who built it is no longer responding to my emails.

I want to use the output string from the Open ReVolt Controller to read and display the system Voltage, Amperage, Temp, etc... I will be using Arduinos, to process the data and display certain values on LCD screens.

I need to know a few things about the cougar:

1) which pins on the RS232 carry the output serial data?

2) how is the data formatted? (separate lines, comma separated values, etc)

3) what is the frequency of the data? (baud rate, if applicable)

Thanks for you help. You guys are awesome.
