Re: Basic Stamp 2 and SSC
I do not know everything about PWM or why IFI needs a driver to interface with some r/c equipment. I did hook everything back up (BOE with BS2sx and IR detector, Mini SSC2, Victor 883, HiTec HS-311 and TV remote running Sony Protocol) to test and verify what I do know......

PWMPal, Mini SSC2, Isaac's, FIRST RC's all put out the same PWM. The basic stamp can put out a type of PWM using PULSOUT as sanddrag mentions above. The pro side of using the hardware is that the hardware will run independently after receiving a command letting the BS run the rest of its code. This is what the FIRST RC's do. The main processor runs your program and downloads the PWM and relay values to a secondary processor. This is done through the SEROUT command when we were running PBASIC.

Good luck with your project!
