It seems that a long cable (300 feet )
is not good for long distance communication SEROUT.
Is there and other better solution
for using SEROUT command?

Thanks, Joe

    If you need to go that long then you should use a line driver. Get Jan
    Axelson's book, "Serial Port Complete." There may also be a couple N&V
    articles available that use RS-485 line drivers. You can find those on
    our web site.

    Just want to confirm, yes RS-485 will work very well with stamps
    out to several thousand feet. Also gives simple way to network many
    stamps with minimal problems.

    Use 75176 chip to get from ttl to '485. Also the "Serial Port
    Complete" book is well worth looking at.

    E-mail me off-list if you need pieces of code to work with the
    75176.

    Cheers,

    Tom Sisk
