Basic stamp to usb interface.

knockout_artist

Good day,

Is it possible? Can we get basic stamp to communicate with usb port on pc?
Like passing simple stuff as vendor id etc.
Its just for experimental purpose.

Thanks.

Using a USB interface like the MAX3420E, it might be possible for the kind of experimental, limited way you're asking about. The Stamp is much too slow to do generalized USB by itself. Parallax does sell several USB serial port adapters that work very nicely to communicate back and forth between a PC and a Stamp. They also sell the USB memory stick data logger which is really a USB host controller that handles USB memory devices as well as HID-type devices (keyboards, mice, tablets, etc).

Thanks mike.
I just wanted to read basic frames from usb device through linux.
I will just wait since I have ordered a usb development board. I had BS2 lying around So I thought I could use this.

Mean while I am going to try to use usb keboard or some thing.

Thanks again.

You can plug in an inexpensive ($25 or so) USB to Serial adapter, then use the BS2 in the BOE board and use "SEROUT 16, 16864, [noparse][[/noparse]"Hello!", CR] to send to a PC or Linux USB port, yes. This uses the "programming port" on the BOE board.
