bs2 source code: to send bang to max/msp using sony tv remote control
hello list, i recently posted, but have more info for my question now. thanks to everyone who tried to help last time!
i'm really new to all this and am trying to find some bs2 source code to start.
basically, i'm trying to get bs2 to send a bang to max/msp when i press buttons on a remote control. i already have all the remote codes decoded.
i found this source code below which i'm trying to modify to send a bang to max/msp. right now it uses buttons 1-4 on the remote control, but tells a robot to move forward/backward etc. as i'm working on something different (interactive video), i need to modify that last part of the code to simply send a bang to max/msp.
any help, insight or references appreciated!

Comments
But instead of that happening, from your other post, you want your BS2 to tell your computer using a serial cable, right?
Then you should use the SEROUT and SERIN commands.
I have never done this, so someone else will help you with how to use the ser commands
