Hi!
Is it possible to use the programming cable to get data from the BS2SX controller? I mean to use it as a programming cable AND to get data from the controller.

    All BS2 modules a programmed through a serial connection, so yes, you can use that same connection to send data from the BS2sx to your computer.

    Look in the Stamp Reference Manual in the chapters on the DEBUG and DEBUGIN statements. Also look through the chapters on the SERIN and SEROUT statements ... if you use a "pin number" of 16, the data goes to (or comes from) the programming port. There are some limitations ... for example, the data from the PC is echoed back to the PC because of how the module is wired internally.
