SX, Bluetooth AppMod and Servo Questions

alkaline

Hi,
I am looking at getting the SX Tech Tool Kit PLUS for a project, but I have several questions.

1. Can the SX use the AppMod eb500 Bluetooth adapter (with appropriate flying leads onto a protoboard)? I see no reason why not, but I can only find Basic Stamp examples.

2. Can the SX handle controlling 3 servos simultaneously?

3. Is it possible to do SX development under Linux?

The project is to stabilise a pan-tilt-roll system with an accelerometer (possibly an Analog Devices ADXL202EB) and provide position commands from a PC using bluetooth.

Thanks

1) Yes, the EB500 uses regular serial communications.

2) Yes

3) I don't know ???

Sounds like an interesting project. Do you have any of the hardware built yet ?

I just did a project for my Nuts & Volts column (May issue) that uses an SX28 to take a serial stream from a PC to control eight servos and eight digital outputs -- so yes, that can be done.

Thanks for the fast reply both of you.

The project is in its early stages, but I am building the replacement to this wearable robot.

I have recently done some work with a Nintendo Wiimote and servo control, and liked the idea of wireless servo control.

Now to wait for that friendly UPS man.....
