RC mode and serial

Post by PyBoter »

Is it possible to control the robo claw from RC but still pull data over serial? Want to make a simple blue tooth app to pull data from the robo claw so a client can check batteries and a few other stats

No. You can't use RC and serial on the TTL pins at the same time(packet serial requires both S1 and S2 to function). You can however use RC on the TTL pins and USB to read status information form the Roboclaw at the same time.
