Parallax Servo Controller (PSCusb): Can you use USB version with a Stamp?

T-Stamper

Can you use the Parallax Servo Controller (PSCusb) with a Stamp?· I would like to be able to use the Servo Controller either from the PC (via USB) or the Stamp (via TTL Serial).··

Is the same serial interface available on the USB version as the Serial version of the PSC?·

Also is the STAMP program available to replay PSCI sequences (referenced in the PSCusb manual)?

Thanks !

Tom,

·· Yes, you can use the USB PSC the same as the Serial version when using a BASIC Stamp.· The only difference between the two is the added USB connection on the USB Version.· As for the playback software it's something we're still working on but currently not available.· Take care.

Does anyone know if there are problems with the stamp software when used with Win98se? I just got back into working with my stamp after upgrading to the USB board. I built a First-Bot out of old cd's some years back and decided to upgrade. My program is pretty simple right now as I have it doing a square. The software cannot find the stamp most times, and I can't seem to get the drivers to open a port in Hardware Profiles. Any suggestions ? J. Scott

J. Scott -

Is this a desktop computer, or a laptop? Did you install the USB drivers? Are you going direct-to-USB on the computer, or using a serial-to-USB converter? If the latter, which brand are you using?

Regards,

Bruce Bates

This is a desktop running Windows 98se. I installed the drivers that I downloaded from the Parallax site. I connect to the Stamp Board directly with a USB cable. Sorry, I'm not real good with all this yet. J. Scott
