rs-232 interface

I am learning on a nx-1000 board.

It has seperate 9 pin connectors: One for programming and another for Serial
Communication with a PC (or other device i imagine).

When I go to build my circuit on a regular bs2 carrier board or using bs2 eom,
does the 9 pin programming connector double as a Serial Communications port or
how does that work?

Matt,
Any of the BS2 I/O pins can act as serial data ports, using the
SEROUT and SERIN instructions. If you are communicating to another
Stamp, it's pretty quick and dirty.

If you are going to communicate to a PC that requires an inverted
signal, you MAY need some additional hardware.

The NX-1000 has some signal conditioning on that connection to invert
the data and make it ready for a PC's COM port.

You may also send and receive data using the programming port (which
is a normal method many times on other versions). The programming
port is refered to as P16.
SEROUT 16,baud,[noparse][[/noparse]data]

Not sure that cleared it up, but it's an involved question depending
on what you want to do.
