Hey,=20

My board is ooPIC-R (c.1.1.+). Can I control the board over the serial port=
?=20

Thanks !

Yes you can. SCP is also used to program your oopic using the Serial port.

To what depth can we control the OOPIC? Please elaborate.

You can stop/start/reset your script code or completely reprogram
it. You can query or change the values of variables or objects. You
can load/retrieve data tables to/from the EEPROM. Or you can do the
usual stuff, which is to just have your OOPic code accept simple
commands from your PC. What you do depends on what you want/need to do.

I'm sorry Andy, I didn't seem to finish my question. I was asking about
OOPIC to OOPIC communication. I want to use one OOPIC to control the
various gaits for a hexapod robot and another one to control
the 'slave' leg controler. So what are my limitations for control in a
situtation like that?

Hello,=A0=20
=A0
I do not know how to set up parameters to use serialcontrol protocol to con=

t to stop the program, I just shut down power. So I think I really need to =
use SPC to control ooPIC.

Thank you very much ! Have a nice day !

You don't need to use SCP to stop the program; just remove the power.
SCP is explained in the manual; there is a section on SCP.

The main limitation with serial comms is the serial object's 4 byte
RX buffer, but the commands that you would be sending from the master
to the slave would generate short enough responses, so this shouldn't
be a problem. In fact, you could your control commands blind; you
don't really need to see the response when you tell the slave to move
leg x to position y.
