Hello,

Not sure what you mean about connecting and running a program…but serial communication between BASIC Stamps is covered in the Help File and BASIC Stamp Manual under the SERIN/SEROUT commands. Take care.

Getting two stamps to communicate is easy enough as mentioned above.· To run a "single" program you really have to have a separate program on each stamp.· Take the time to map out the·timming for data and control or you just get a headache.

Hey Parallax,

If you plan on ever updating the board of eduacation how about some extra·sockets for the serial pins?? Its great to have the serial interface but if a stamp is in the socket I cant get them without wedging wires under the stamp pins.· Better yet update your stamps to have the extra pins on them, sorta like the propeller stamp's extra programming pins.· Mabey you already offer a solution for accesing the serial pins?· I ask because often I can't spare a regular·I/O pin for my projects.
