Hey everyone, I am new to this group and to the BasicX. I am using a Bx-24 to act as the central processor for a telemetry system. I am using com1 for programming and two-way serial communication with an electric motor controller. I need 2 more serial outs, one for an LCD and one for a radio modem. I am currently sending both outputs, as one stream through Com3, to a Stamp II, which then distribute the two streams to the correct locations. The stamp is also being used as a multiplexer for 6 streams of serial data, which are sent into the input pin of Com3. Is this the best solution, or would I be better off trying to redefine Com3 to different pins in the BasicX program. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Alexander Arnote

to me this sounds like a good solution. is the speed up to what you need? there is a board that I have seen (have to look for it again) that does do this with a bit more elgence. you sent a command for what comport you want the next bit of data to goto then send the data. I think the max is 8 comports from one. that being said you would suffer the lag of you port being split into 1/2 baud for each. --- wrote: > Hey everyone, I am new to this group and to the BasicX.

I'd just like to know how you got the stamp to multiplex 6 serial streams of data, since it can only do one serial operation at a time!!!! If the stamp can do this, why couldn't the BX-24 do it also? Also, you can certainly send multiple streams out of the BX-24 through different pins by just changing the COM3 pin assignement each time. Chuck

The stamp is rotating serial comunications with the six inputs. >From: "Chuck Davis" <> >Reply-To: >To: >Subject: [BasicX] Re: Help with 3 serial outputs >Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 13:41:34 -0000 > >--- In basicx@y..., ahae5d@h... wrote: > > Hey everyone, I am new to this group and to the BasicX.
