Serial Communication between BS2/Netburner SB70

I have been introduced to the BS2 along with the PINK(Parallax Internet Netburner Kit) for the first time. I am having trouble trying to figure out how to transfer files from the Netburner to the BS2. I understand how to connect the boards together, but I do not know how to initialize the transmission. I realize that the BS2 access the Netburner through the entities of variables. Could some one give me some kind of hint or detail instructions to what I am missing. I do not know how the Netburner web server transfer files to the BS2. Is there a special kind of software to complement the Netburner with its transactions? I need some serious help about this situation!

    The only thing I know is that I can FTP files to the PINK back and forth with the Windows FTP utility in the Windows Explorer.

    Files (web pages) are downloaded to the PINK using a browser,via the ethernet connection. The stamp and PINK interchange variables (usually not complete files) via a serial connection using the SERIN and SEROUT commands.

    The PINK manual is famous for being thin, but it really does have all the information you need to get started.

    Cheers

    DosEdge,

    If you are new to the PINK and BS2 also take a look at these links given by Peter Verkaik. It gave me a good insight in the PINK and its possibilities.

    Regards,

    Marcel
