Hello All,

··· I am curious to know if anyone has developed or found a serial data transmitter/receiver pair to use with the basic stamp.· My basic stamp is part of a robot and I would like to get feedback from it using the debug command.· I think his can be done through the use of a serial cable but I don't want to tether the robot to the computer.·
··· Basically I want to use a wireless serial·link to connect the stamp to the computer.· The distance only has to be ~ 5 or 10 feet so an infrared or RF unidirectional link would be fine I think.· I imagine that these have already been built·and would prefer to buy it, but would be very open to any schematics one might·be willing to share.· The more simplistic the design the better.· Also, does anyone know offhand what data speed the stamp is capable of transmitting back to the computer at?

Regards,
Jim Szymczak

    Shawn Wilson has a good tutorial about interfacing a Ming transmitter and
    receiver to a stamp. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Orchard/6633

    Hello All,

    I am curious to know if anyone has developed or found a serial data
    transmitter/receiver pair to use with the basic stamp. My basic stamp is
    part of a robot and I would like to get feedback from it using the debug
    command. I think his can be done through the use of a serial cable but I
    don't want to tether the robot to the computer.
    Basically I want to use a wireless serial link to connect the stamp to
    the computer. The distance only has to be ~ 5 or 10 feet so an infrared or
    RF unidirectional link would be fine I think. I imagine that these have
    already been built and would prefer to buy it, but would be very open to any
    schematics one might be willing to share. The more simplistic the design
    the better. Also, does anyone know offhand what data speed the stamp is
    capable of transmitting back to the computer at?

    Regards,

    Radiometrix makes tiny RF modules that should do exactly what you're
    looking for:

    The american distributor for radiometrix RF modules is Lemos:

    I've had very good service from abacom, who are actually in Canada. They
    have a complete line of different RF products, many are similar to the
    radiometrix modules:

    Hope this helps, Duncan
