eTape sensor

KARIM102

Does anyone have idea about eTape sensor, & can give me coding for it looooooool,,, i would like to know how u can connected with Basic Stamp??? cz the tap doesn't have wire connection????????????/ what should i buy with it???

Did you look at the etape sample code? It's on the page where you buy them in a zip file.

Yes i know the code, but i don't know how to fix the etape sensor in the breadborad for Baisc Stamp Home... cz the sensor doesn't have the teminal!!! what should i buy for it ?????????

Did you read page 4 of the app notes? I don't think you did.

There is no problem that can't be solved with a suitable amount of explosives!

Hey everyone,

Trying to program the eTape sensor using Propeller instead of Basic Stamp. Thought it would be similar to programming the AD592 Temperature sensor, but no such luck so far. Any suggestions?
