EduBot and USART ports
The 2004 Edubot includes two serial ports (USART): USART1 is the programming port which has voltage conversion for interfacing with an RS-232 port, and USART2 is the TTL port on the Edubot. No dedicated handshaking line is available on the TTL port, although Innovation FIRST states that any of the digital I/O pins could be used for this purpose.
Has anyone succeeded in modifying the code to make use of the TTL USART2 port? I have a USART compatible sensor, but am just beginning to learn C and the Microchip 18F8520.
I miss the days of just hooking up a pot or analog sensor (gyro) and being able to read the value of a byte directly. Mechanical engineers get spooked around all this programming/computer science stuff.
Your help is appreciated.
Dave...

I don't think Brandon is actually doing this, I think he has CD-47 Bot and Archiver locked in a closet doing all this while he has fun - Mike Schroeder [more]
