Multiple Basic Stamp Programs

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to use say a eeprom to store multiple programs. Then load and run a certain·program with an input signal (transmitter/receiver signal)


I am wanting to excute a program from a R/C transmitter signal. I know it is possible to operate a circuit from a R/C transmitter signal (See the following link··· http://robots.freehostia.com/Circuits/RCSwitch/RCSwitch.html).· Now the question is can I select and run a certain basic stamp program with such a signal, ie 3 different programs with a 3-channel R/C transmitter/receiver)


Thanks,


Randy

    Randy, With the BS2e, and other·BS2 models·from Parallax, you can load up to 8 programs in a single stamp. The programs could be run with a loop looking for input (high/low)·on a pin. The program that you run, could come back to the first one and wait for another input.

    That I exactly what I was looking for. I·be be·runing·using a BS2sx. I am building a R/C / robot. I need to run a few separate programs based on different inputs from the R/C transmitter.



    Is there anything special I need to do? Does anyone have an example program/setup to go by?

    I am involved in model rocketry. My club flies everything from 8" mini-rockets all the way up to 15'· mega-rockets. With the·large rockets we can't be within 1000' of the rocket at launch. I am building a robot (aka DangerCAM) to go out to the large rockets and take pictures.

    BTW.· In the near future, log onto www.dangercam.com.



    Thanks for your help.
