visual input????

techgeek

Hello, I'm still learning about all this stamp basic, and programming.
In my many nights of continuous studying, pouring over, soldering, schematic drawing and basic electonic thought. I wondered:
What visual program will work with basic stamp (IE: visual basic?).

The reason I ask, I noticed a password program, and i wondered is there a cosmetic, way of programming the basic stamp to work with a program such as (visual basic)


Any Idea's or comformation, or thought on subject will be greatly appreciated

The basic stamp is not anywhere near powerful to run something like visual basic if that's what you mean. If you mean an IDE to program the stamp from a PC, that is possible if someone wanted to develop it.

I'm not looking for a programming interface. I'm looking for a interface for the stamp to produce results to and take human input commands from, (IE user puts in password in A Visual Basic program, and then the stamp produce a welcome msg to the program.)

OK...
What I am doing is I am trying to create an easy graphical interface on a computer for a user to use, then a background program to interpert the commands (visual buttons) so that the basic stamp will understand and follow each command. (IE: user presses button on screen labeled, "red" then the basic stamp turns all red lights on. user presses button again, stamp turns off red lights)

any sugesstions, (doesn't have to be visual basic,)

You can do what you want by writing serial strings to the stamp and having the stamp do tasks depending on the string received. For instance if you sent r1 it could turn on the red lights and r0 would turn them off.
