Update stam from Internet
Have an idee that it could be nice to be able to update the program inside the Stamp by downloading the new version from the net. Can this be done with out using Basic Stamp editor?
I maen, we got a stamp application that is sold to a customer and we now need to update the software in the Stamp. We put out a new version on the net for the customer to download. this is the easy part! How can I now get this into the Stamp??

But. it does make it harder to provide an ability to upgrade. The key point is that the program within the Stamp has been processed into tokens and then downloaded using some pretty tight timing between the editor and the the chip. I don't think an internet connection would allow the timing necessary.
While I've never tested it, I do understand that the editor allows the creation of an object file which you can then provide to the customer without him having the ability to change the code or even see how you did the coding. Click on the "File" menu item in the editor.
I'll bet some of the others on the forums have dealt with similar issues.
Cheers,

In the archive, there's some documentation on the protocol used to download programs to a Stamp. You can either use the tokenizer to download a new program to a Stamp or you can write your own.
That looks like what I need now I just need to find out how it all works!.maybe somebody have a VB sample

An option for systems that are installed in remote locations is the Stache, also from Parallax here
Your customer could download the program from the internet, load it into the Stache module, and carry it to the field to update systems there.
