Emic 2 and sumobot build help needed

KronicKold

Hi,
My 7 year old daughter and I have been building the sumobot together. She is catching on that she can modify pbasic to do different things.

Being a 7 year old, it would excite her if her robot could talk. Honestly it would excite me too, I'm a big kid as well.

I can not find any wiring or mounting examples or instructions anywhere! I am guessing i could press it into the bread board

Run lead from vss to pin 1 (ground) on the emic2
Vdd to pin 2 (5v) on the emic2

Then the emic 2 needs serial in and serial out. Its pin 3 (Sout) and pin 4 (SIN)

This is where I'm at a loss. Not sure if the sumobot has these. Its a basic stamp 2 board, so I assumed it does.

Any suggestions?

The headers next to the to breadboard are connected to the BS2's I/O pins. Use two of these pins for your serial communication. You use SERIN and SEROUT (or something like that) to have the Emic2 and the BS2 to communicate with each other.

Did you get it connected?

Be careful when you do, you don't want to end up like this.

Thank you! It worked perfectly. The documentation for a newbie spans 3 different manuals. So it was sorta confusing.
Duane, I couldn't have done it without you. I didn't realize ANY pin could be serial in or out, that they were software driven.

My daughter is pleased that her Sumo bot can now taunt my bot.
