Wiz5100 BS2 example code?

blessedone

so far I really haven't done much besides research
and unfortunately for me there hasn't been any documented cases of using the wiz5100 with the basic stamp2 that i have found
I was able to locate some propeller .spin examples / drivers is there can anyone help me understand how to go about the same thing in Pbasic?

my goal is to send data to a my server .. i really wish more people who used the basic stamp 2 because as it is pretty much anything is lacking in examples or documentation for Pbasic ... not like the propeller .spin
this has been pretty frustrating as i have a Xbee wifi as well that i cant get working so i figured i'd go Ethernet ... come on ... I just want an internet connection for the love of god! ... (xbee wifi works as expected with xctu but not does nto accept commands or respond tot he basic stamp) - http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/156240-XBee-Wifi-S6B-with-Basic-Stamp-2-Homework-Board...?p=1297394&posted=1#post1297394

this has been the most useful so far

The Basic Stamp is not suitable for use with the WIZ5100 because it has very little memory available for data and program and making an internet connection with a WIZ5100 is complicated. The Propeller has a lot more memory and is much much faster, so there's sample code available and that combination works pretty well. The XBee WiFi modules are a bit simpler to use and you might be able to get a connection going with a Stamp, but you have to respect that the XBee modules default to 9600 Baud as I recall and that doesn't work too well with the BS2. 2400 Baud is much more reliable. You can also switch to faster Stamp modules like the BS2px.

NetBurner makes a very nice internet to serial module that interfaces very well with the BS2 and was sold by Parallax in the past. There's special firmware you can download from NetBurner to convert their standard module to a Stamp-specific one which was known as the PINK module. Search NetBurner's website for details.
