Homecontrol using the Basic Stamp - Web or iPod controlled
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the programming of basic stamp microntrollers. I just finished my first project, controlling a 'home control remote' by using the basic stamp accessing through a php webpage..
More details and the guide can be found on:

Here is an example of the project:
I like to hear the comments or suggestions, only remind i am just a beginner!

It looks great. Very clean. Very useful.
Certainly an ambitious first go.
Kudos.
You probably should install some capacitors on the input and output sides of the 5V regulator. Check the data sheet for your regulator for the correct values. 10uF to 100uF electrolytic capacitors rated for twice your design voltage are commonly used if you're using a 7805 regulator.
Parallax recommends installing a pair of 0.1uF capacitors on the ATN and VSS pins of the BS2 for relaiable BS2 programming. Check page 28 of the Parallax Basic Stamp Reference Manual.
Lastly you should install a 22K resistor on your Serial Input line on your 2nd serial port (pin 3), as recommended in the Basic Stamp Reference Manual for the SERIN command.
