I've worked with Max/MSP for all internal things...now I'm trying external things. Can anyone steer me in the direction of getting max to toggle an LED on a breadboard on/off? I'm using a Parallax Board of Education that has a BASIC Stamp 2 and a breadboard built into it. The BOE uses a serial connection. Anything would help as this is just one step to hooking up all kinds of sensors.

you will need to program the parallax board to receive information from the serial port in a specific manner. the Arduino is more Max/MSP ready. www.arduino.cc. that might help you understand how to begin communication between Max and your board.

Thanks. I did a bit of research and found a series of objects you can download that will work in Max/MSP called Pduino or something along those line and you can actually control the sections of the board visually by the I/O pins in Max. Am I on the right track?
