Share Parallax EB500 + Motor Driver

FlyinDance

Hi. Currently we are working on a robotics project. However, due to insufficient of memory of the EEPROM, we had to use the 2 Basic stamps. Is it possible to share Parallax EB500 bluetooth module and Motor driver together with two basic stamps? I am worried if I connect them together, it might burn the components. Thanks for any advice.

Regards

Can you post your software? It seems unlikely that you cannot run·two hardware devices by the stamp, unless timing is critical. ·


The key in using hardware is in program flow planning.
For example - you can start a process (piece of hardware) and then do something else and than check the process progress.
As long as your program works on “sharing” principle you can run as many hardware devices as necessary.
If· you take this approach you can ·also “reuse” variables as· aliases.
But as I said – planning is the key and DEBUG is your friend!

Also - does your project use LCD?
"Standard" Hitachi controller has·user accessible RAM usable as "extra" memory.
