Can I read a program from a Prop-1?

Tragically, you can't use the BS1 Serial Adapter as an interface to the uMP3 -- trust me, I tried.  I've posted lots of serial examples with the uMP3; have a look at those to see what's happening.  If you can get a USB2SER or other compatible device for reconfiguring, I'll rewrite your code.  Forgive me for not doing it now, but I can't devote the time to a program that won't actually get used -- that will change on November 1.   ;D

I understand completely. I have gone back to the original configuration and it is working ok now.
It is 90% of what I wanted it to do. 90% and working is better than 100% theory and not working.

I will order a USB adapter next week.

Good luck on everyone else's programs.

Once again thanks for all your help.

I managed to get the program working the way I wanted to. The prop was an alligator on a swivel and extending arm. It was the absolute most scary prop of the entire evening. It scared 95% of the TOTs. We had one confirmed peetality. It would not have been possible without the Prop-1 controller.

Here is the final code. (after the first cycle through the program, it worked flawlessly the entire evening.
