Parallel Processing

[Technic-R-C]

**

Is there any way to have two VEX controllers communicate via their serial ports to exchange variables, motor speeds, parallel processing, etc? If so can it be done in EasyC via user code or must it be done in C?

Yes, you can send data of any kind (variables, motor speeds….) through the Serial Port. This can be done in C, but you must write the code to accomplish interfaceing 2 Vex Controllers. Can this be done in easy C, you must post your question in the easyC Technical Support Section./

I am interested on how parallel processing can be accomplished. This would make Vex processing a lot more interesting. Could you pleases guide me in the right direction and tell me how this can be done. It says that should post this question in the easyC Technical Support Section and here I am.

Thanks

You can connect the TTL Serial Ports together this would allow you to send and receive large amounts of data. You would need easyC Pro for this option and would
use the Serial Port Commands listed in API.h. (Under the projects tab)

The other way you can do this is connect two I/O ports and send pulses of data back and forth.
