Demo Program
(SERIN-OUT_SENDER.bs2 & SERIN-OUT_RECEIVER.bs2)
' Using two BS2-IC's, connect the circuit shown in the SEROUT command description and
' run this program on the BASIC Stamp designated as the Sender. This program
' demonstrates the use of Flow Control (FPin). Without flow control, the sender would
' transmit the whole word "HELLO!" in about 6 ms. The receiver would catch the first byte at
' most; by the time it got back from the first 1-second PAUSE, the rest of the data would be
' long gone. With flow control, communication is flawless since the sender waits for the
' receiver to catch up.
'{$STAMP BS2} 'STAMP directive (specifies a BS2)
Loop:
SEROUT 1\0, 16468, ["HELLO!"] ' Send the greeting.
PAUSE 2500

NOTE: This is written for the BS2
but can be used for the BS2e,
BS2sx and BS2p also (with
modifications). Locate the proper
source code file or modify the
STAMP directive and the
Baudmode before downloading to
the BS2e, BS2sx or BS2p.
