Ok....I have a gripe....which for Parallax is uncommon.

The source code for the VTI is a bin file.....which the Propeller tool can load, but the code is not available.

I would like to have the code for my own uses.

Would it be possible to get the spin/asm file of the demo?

James, this should be taken care of by Monday...that was my mistake.  It is not even the correct demo code.  My apologies.

James, thanks for understanding...I have been working on code for four products at once. Somewhere along the way the lines get blurred sometimes.

Well...to be honest....I can't gripe too much. I didn't buy my sensor from Parallax.........so I have no room to point fingers.

I was just going to take a peek at how you guys did the code.

Nonetheless, it is in error...our example/demo code is always available to our customers in source format. I just have to pay more attention to what package I ask to be published on the web. =)

I'm in hope when the Parallax demo code is finally released in source format that
it will also include how to access and display the temperature monitoring feature
of the VTI SPC1000 and not just the pressure readings.

Source code for the Basic Stamp would be very desirable as well.

Phil,

I just responded in another thread that BASIC Stamp code would be available as well as updated Propeller code. I plan on including the temperature as well. I apologize for not meeting my timeline. I am trying to allocate some time to Propeller objects that need to be done. I am thinking next week will be possible. I will follow up on these threads as soon as I have something though. Rest assured.

Okay, so as an update there were a few hang-ups I hit on the code...These are due to short-comings of my own which I will be addressing with our master programmer. Seems I need to get caught up to date on some stuff. So bear with me while I further my Propeller Education a bit and wrap these objects. The BASIC Stamp code just needs a schematic on the connections since it's a 3.3V --> 5V connection. Take care.

Chris, you stated that "The BASIC Stamp code just needs a schematic", does that mean that you have a .pdf for it, just waiting on the schematic or are you saying that all the BASIC Stamp users just need the schematic and not code?

Not sure if I am comunicating what I am asking... If the .pdf for the BASIC stamp users is complete, could you post a link to it?

Larry, sorry for the delay...I have actualy been brushing up on some SPIN and PASM myself recently. We have BASIC Stamp code, but you cannot connect the sensor directly to the BASIC Stamp as it is 3.3V and the BASIC Stamp module is a 5V device. I have been working on a schematic that will use readily accessible parts that the average customer can use for the interface so they don't need a specialized interface IC. I will have something soon. Right now I want to wrap the SPIN code but I needed to get caught up as I have been working on so much hardware I haven't really done much programming in a while and found myself a little rusty. =) It happens to the best of us.
