Hello everyone,
I am currently trying to learn how to use the basic stamp 2 microcontroller.
I already know how outputting from pins works, but I'm unclear on serial port
communication. How do I go about sending information from the microcontroller
to a C++ program and vice versa. I am currently working on a team project and
we need to interface between our microcontroller and the computer. Can anyone
help me out?

IO pins to the serial app. If you use the programming port your
external app needs to deal with the hardware character echo created by
the Stamp. If you decide to devote a few pins, you can even go the
flow-control route so that you don't have any missed messages.

http://www.al-williams.com/stampcom.zip which has info on reading from the
Stamp via C++ or VB.
Also, our NETPORTER DAQ control is made to work with our DAQ board, but it
will just as easily read data from a STAMP if you format it correctly. The
details are here: http://www.al-williams.com/npdaqax.htm and the control is
free for non-commercial use. Just make the Stamp output lines of data in the
form VAR=XXXX where VAR can be any string and XXXX is whatever you want.
