Have you considered (not sure about the full requirements) but designing
a secondary expansion board with serial controllers instead of the
expansion headers??
Just an idea, but the Motorola version of the serial processor (6850?)
should be a good choice.
Would be an interesting project with a fair amount of interest.

I would like to create multiple serial outputs (like 3 or 4) using the
digital outputs on the handyboard expansion board.  The purpose is to
drive an external servo controller and external motor controllers
(motorminds) which can handle more load than the handyboard's drive can.
2400bps operation would work fine.

Questions:

-has anyone tried this - is there any fundamental reason why it couldnt be
done?

-any code available? (some mod of the Pa7_9600 code?)

thanks for any info,

  Re: Creating multiple serial outputs with the HB expansion board
 
I have considered something like that and it sure would work but I was hoping to find a s/w based solution that didn't require changing the h/w. I only need outputs, 2400bps, and I dont need any of the more functional aspects of typical serial parts (...) (26 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
