Question regarding using serial sensors;
I'd like to use 2 sensors on my robot, but I'm using a single PIC24HJ32GP202 to drive it.
I noticed, forinstance, the Maxbotix component up there is RS232. Does that mean I have to hook it up to the UART, or can I drive serial data, such as RS232, to an input pin?
If it does have to go to the UART, does that mean I can only have one sensor per pic?
And when it refers to the outputs being either "serial or TTL," does the TTL mean it only puts out HI/LO if it detects something in range, or can it encode bits?
