Interfacing serial LCD Display

Hi guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to drive the "16x2 Serial LCD Display" and "PING))) Ultrasonic Sensor" using BS2 and Super Carrier Board.

(Link to the Super Carrier Board: http://parallax.com/Store/Microcontrollers/BASICStampModules/tabid/134/List/1/ProductID/122/Default.aspx?txtSearch=SUPER+CARRIER+BOARD&SortField=ProductName,ProductName)

The only reason I asked is because the Super Carrier Board does not have Serial interface like the Board of Education kit does.

Please let me know if this is possible.

Thank you

    Actually the Super Carrier Board does have a serial interface. But that is (like the one on the BOE) for programming and has no bearing on connections to the LCD or PING))) sensor. Both the LCD and the PING))) are fully compatible with the Super Carrier Board and are interfaced through the I/O pin connections on the board. I hope this helps. Take care.

    the best instructions on how to interface the basic stamp to the 16x2 serial LCD I found are located here:
