You don't need to use SCP to stop the program; just remove the power.

SCP is explained in the manual; there is a section on SCP.

The main limitation with serial comms is the serial object's 4 byte
RX buffer, but the commands that you would be sending from the master
to the slave would generate short enough responses, so this shouldn't
be a problem. In fact, you could your control commands blind; you
don't really need to see the response when you tell the slave to move
leg x to position y.
