Serial I/O

Archiver

Hello,

I am trying to control maxstream radio with BS1. I can talk to
the another maxstream radio with SERIN, SEROUT. But when I kept both
to work together SEROUT is not transmitting any data until it
recieves data from SERIN(another radio out put). If any body done
controlling serial I/O using BS1 please help me. I owe them lot of
thanks

Sorry, BS1 and BS2 are single task devices.
When it's receiving, it can't send. When
it's sending, it can't receive.

The Max3100 will give you an SPI interfaced
UART with an 8 byte buffer you could use.
The Max 3110 has a 3100, WITH built-in,
no external caps needed 232 drivers.

Hello BasicStamps Group,

I'm trying to set up a serial communication link between my BOE-BOT and a PC. So
far, I have set up a link using a DB9 cable, and the BASIC STAMP's SERIN and
SEROUT commands. I'm using the DEBUG TERMINAL window that comes with the BASIC
Stamp Editor. At this stage, I'm able to control the speed of two servos that
are on the BOE-BOT by entering commands in the DEBUG window.

Now, I want to go to the next step, and write a program on the PC side that I
can use in place of the Stamp Editor's DEBUG TERMINAL.

What software can I use on the PC side to send data to the BOE-BOT ? Can I use
something like Microsoft Visual C++? How do you use the serial port on a PC with
C/C++?

Steve
