Control a vex with a laptop?

[system]

Hmmm… a bit more searching through the forums and I think I’ve answered my question.

You can write code on the Vex that sends sensor status down the primary serial port, use the orange cable to connect it to the laptop.

The serial link runs at 115K baud, so you should get a pretty good data stream down from the Vex sensor array. Two ways would be a continuous stream of all the values from all the sensors. With 8 digital inputs and 4 analog ports its a 20 character message.

Or you could just send the sensors that change value, so it would be less data transfer.

Thought so… I’ll post some pictures when I get this thing working.
