Hi,

Is it possible for 2 HBs to communicate via the serial port using Randy
Sargent's serial code?
(http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/rsargent/ic/serialio.html)
I'm not too smart in electronics so I plugged a standard telephone cable between
two HBs and one of them turned off and smoke came from around the SPI.  I don't
need to send strings just simple characters.  Any help would be appreciated.

Also does anyone have the ISBN for "Mobile Robots Inspiration to Implementation"
?

Thank You
Peter Eacmen
