I don't wish to intrude but... how exactly are you going about getting the current draw from the wire to the robot controller? Just checking.
Ugggh... I don't know where to start...
The serin command in the default program
cannot be used for any ordinarly stamp chip. Everything in the robot controller is actually performed by a central processor. The stamp chip only serves as an easier way for us to tell the processor what we want it to do. The serial input/output commands allow the two chips to interact.
I have a difficult time picturing what you are trying to do... I certainly
hope you're not trying to do what I am picturing...
Why are you trying to connect the bs2 to the dashboard port? If you are trying to get the data from it then you must read the
Dashboard Port documentation and serin the bytes in that format.
IMO... you are biting off more than you can chew.
