PC data transfer to the basic stamp

lorderico

Is it possible to transfer information from the computer to the basic stamp using the usb connection that I use do download the program to it from my computer. If so, how? Can SERIN or SEROUT help here? I want to trigger a response in my vehicle from my computer.

Read the chapters in the Stamp Basic Manual on the DEBUG and DEBUGIN statements. You can also use SERIN and SEROUT with I/O pin #16 (which uses the programming port). There are some limitations that are discussed in the manual.

Yes

Take a look at the SERIN/SEROUT and the pin assignments.Also experiment#34 in the StampWorks Manuel using a RS232 DCE

Thanks for the help. I am trying to use DEBUGIN right now. I copied this from the manual:

' {$STAMP BS2}

' {$PBASIC 2.5}

myNum VAR Nib

DEBUG CLS, "Enter a number (1-5)? --> "

DEBUGIN DEC1 myNum

IF ((myNum >= 1) AND (myNum <=5)) THEN

  DEBUG CLS, "You entered: ", DEC1 myNum

ELSE

   DEBUG CLS, "Sorry, number out of range"

ENDIF

END

Only problem is, I don't know how to flush my input to the basic stamp. I am running this in Ubuntu linux in the terminal. Pressing enter just goes to a new line. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Eric
