SERIAL CONTROL OF BS2p24/PSC with BS2p40

kennet

Question? Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use· serial communication to control a Parallax Servo Controller/ BS2p24 combination with a BS2p40 in a Master/Slave setup? If it is possible,do you write commands to the BS2p24 or the
PSC? Also how would the command be written?

Thank You
Ken

Yes, this is very practical.

Check out the PSC "Serial" version documentation on the command strings needed to control it.

Thanks for the prompt reply. What I really meant to say is that I want to send a serout command from the BS2p40 to the BS2p24,and not directly to the PSC. This way the BS2p24/PSC combo is running in the background.
serout/serin and have the BS2p24· CASE/SELECT a command to the PSC.I've already wrote and tested the code now I need the BS2p40(MASTER) to control the BS2p24(SLAVE) CASE/SELECT.

Thanks

See "flow control" under SERIN/SEROUT in the Pbasic manual -- if you have the extra pin to spare on the master and slave, this will make it much much easier to have the two Stamps communicate via serial.
