Need help building application

lhtay

I·bought your BASIC Stamp discovery kit and tried the program on "Controlling Motion with a Servo". I have a Board of Education Rev B circuit board and used BASIC Stamp BS2 for programming.· I can control the servo with push buttons and did so·by running a BS2 program on my laptop connected to the circuit board. I want to build an application so that·I can run the program·stand-alone without my laptop and the BS2 program.·Please advise how I can do this.

Furthermore, I intend to use MATLAB serial I/O functions to control the servo. Please advise me how to talk the micro-controller via RS232 protocols·without the BS2 program.

I have seen those. Which sections/ pages are you specifically asking me to look at?

Thanks

You probably want to get a Parallax servo controller: www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28023

If you go into the whats a microcontroller download, Parallax goes into using servos and how to control them. Don't recall the cahpter but its towards the middle of the book.
