Networking BS2 Modules

Pardon my newbieness... I am looking to "network" two BS2 IC's together using BOEs. I have searched the forums and Internet for info on RS485 and i2c I think leading me in the right direction but haven't found exactly what I was looking for.

I would like to experiment with two stamps on one robotics project with code running the stamps as master and slave...

I'm rubbing the two sticks together, have some smoke, but no spark yet... Am I wall wet here?

Thanks,
Gary

    Read up on the SERIN and SEROUT commands. Those are relatively easy to use and provide an easy way for BS2's to communicate. Have the master BS2 SEROUT an instruction, and have the slave BS2 listen for that instruction with the SERIN command.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Dave and Jon. That will give me focus...

    I did forget to type in subject line. One of those brain cramp things that you will remember once the message is written (but doesn't actually happen...).

    Thanks again,
    Gary
