The SPI (synchronous peripheral interface) does not do normal RS-232
(aka "asynchronous serial") in hardware.  you must write an assembly
language driver to do the timing.

at some point in january i plan to release a 1200 baud output driver.
if someone beats me to it that is fine.

Perhaps I have just overlooked this in the documentation for the HB and IC. Is there an easy way to control the chip selects Y*? Are they memory mapped or harder to get to than that? Thanks for the info: patrick (30 years ago, 21-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I can control the output on the SPI header (in accordance with the instructions from the FAQ), but I can't figure out how to get the timing right to send a 2400 or 9600 baud signal. Can anyone help me? Is there any code out there that can do this (...) (31 years ago, 27-Oct-95, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
