Sdat PIN 15 ' Serial Data I/O pin
buff VAR Byte(3) ' temporary variable
FindPSC: ' Find and get the version

SERIN Sdat, Baud, 500, FindPSC, [STR buff\3]

END

Looks like
buff(0) = $4D
buff(1) = $69
buff(2) = $6E

Could you add

DEBUG "0 = ", HEX buff(0), "  1 = ", HEX buff(1), "  2 =  ", HEX buff(2), CR

before END ?

I had no problem running your code:

I'm curious though. The PSC firmware is still at Version 1. What update did you apply? I updated mine to include Servo32v9, and it still reported Ver 1.0.

Could you include the Propeller code?

Hi Publison,
Thanks for the help
I have loaded the software from Parallax!!!! (http://www.parallax.com/Store/Accessories/MotorServoControllers/tabid/160/ProductID/595/List/0/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName,ProductName) PSC Propeller Firmware (.zip)
The PSC Propeller Firmware.spin is datet 24.09.2009!!!.
Yesterday I found and installed the following files Servo32v8.spin and PSC Propeller Firmware V2.spin - and the controller work well again (PSC ver: 1.0)!!!!!!
I found today even better version, and I will also install PSC Propeller Firmware V2.1.spin and Servo32v9.spin

I also install Servo32v9 and it worked OK.

Please tell me where you got PSC Propeller Firmware V2.spin. Would like to take a look at it.

So you are running OK?

OK I found the new PSC firmware in this post. I'm not sure why it did not make it to the product page. Have not run it yet.

Uploaded Version 2 of the PSC firmware. Changed the Propeller code to reflect Ver 2.0.

Ran fine here.
