BS2P and Lynxmotion Wireless Controller

[brianmcm-2]

I’m thinking of using the Mini-ABB and Lynxmotion Wireless Controller with a Basic Stamp BS2P.

1. Just to confirm: the BS2P will work fine with the Mini-ABB?
2. I should be able to connect the controller directly to the Mini-ABB correct?
3. Will I be able to “read” the second joystick or am I still limited to one joystick?

Thank you so much for the help.

Brian.

The BS2 requires an inverter for the data line for use with the shiftin command. We are still shipping the old Bot Board (inverter built it), but the Bot Board II is dropping support for the BS2 PS2 port. I do not know if the BS2P will work for the the Bot Boards PS2 port. I know the BS2 and the BS2E was tested with original Sony brand tethered controllers. No testing has been done with the BS2 and the Lynxmotion wireless controller. You can only read 3 of the 4 joystick axis with stamps regardless. The BS2P will work in the Bot Board, but I have no way of knowing if it will work with the PS2 controller. The only stamp like processor that has great PS2 capabilities is the Atom.
