Current Monitoring system questions

[PyroPhin]

hello, gots some questions on something im developing for the 2003 bot

my idea is to have several taps on the motors/compressor to record all the voltage levels of them and send that data into the RC.. then put it thru the V= i*r formula to get the current of a particular device. i figured the R of the wire isnt gonna change that much in a 2 minute compeition, so im pretty well off setting that as a constant.

then the other half is getting one of the BS2's we got laying around to talk to the Dashboard port of the OI and send the stuff across to be displayed on a LCD mounted in the comtrol system.

i know how to do all of the programming for this.. minus the communication part. every time i have tried to duplicate the Serin command used in the RC, i get a stamp error.. so i can only assume that the form they use is for IFC stuff only.

well, if you have any suggestions... please drop me a line!
