Wireless boe bot controlled by pc?

EastBurke

I have a boe bot and two parallax 433Mhz transceivers i am trying to controll the boe bot·with my pc through the serial port. I have a max232 but i cant see to figure it out and this is my last hope. I was wondering if there was any thing special that i needed to do to get them to communicate?

What have you tried and how do you have them connected? ATTACH your code to a post using the attachment manager so we can have a look.

Well i started with the sample code

' Tcvr_TxCode_v1.1.bs2
'{$STAMP BS2}
'{$PBASIC 2.5}
x VAR Word
y VAR Word
HIGH 1 ' T/R Line
DO
PULSOUT 0, 1200 'Sync pulse for the receiver
SEROUT 0, 16468, [noparse][[/noparse] "!", x.HIGHBYTE, x.LOWBYTE, y.HIGHBYTE, y.LOWBYTE ]
x = x + 1
y = y + 1
PAUSE 10

LOOP

and its says it needs two stamps (one on the recieve end and the transmit end)but i am pretty sure it can be done with only one stamp?

and i have to tansciever on the computer end connected to the max232 which is connected to the 9-pin serial connecter

Since the code you posted is for the transmitter just connect the other radio to your computer and use a terminal progran to receive the transmitted code.

EastBurke,

You might want to consider "RobotBasic" which will allow you to communicate with your bot from your PC.

I am not familiar with that, but i can give it a try

EastBurke

so do i send the data through the DEBUG terminal? or is there a special program to use?
