Re: Interfacing a PC with last year's Robot Controller
The host program running on the PC uses the MSCOMM control from a VB 6.0 GUI. Punardeep says that the RC crashes with a Basic Run Error whenever the serial port on the PC is open.

I tested the program with a BS2 and it works correctly. The only caveat is that whenever the serial port is initially opened on the PC is resets the stamp by asserting the reset pin. Is there a modification to the reset circuit that would cause the problem hes having?
