Controlling a serial BOE via PC

Ugha

I know this is most likely answered a hundred times over in various
other posts on this forum as well as in some of the Stamps in Class
books, but I can't find·it so... I'm bugging you good people.


I want to write a program in C that will send simple serial strings to
my stamp via the programming cable/port.

I basically want to do the exact same thing that debugin uses cept
from my own C program.

Anyone got any info on how hard this is and maybe a link on how
to do it?

PS: Getting info out of the stamp via this serial connection is a
bonus, but not absolutely required.

It's just a serial connection. For most Stamps, it's 9600 Baud. For some (like the BS2px) it's 19,200 Baud, always at 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. Remember that the debug connection echos back to the PC anything that's received and toggling the DTR line resets the Stamp.
