Group,
Is there any way to make a BSX to be able to send data to a
computer whith out it being tethered back to it? (wireless) Is there
any way you could get one to call a pager? If any body has any
information on this, I would sure appreciate it if you could help me
out. -AJB

Parallax has solutions to both your problems: wireless modules and the
Cermetek modem (although any modem will work). You can send digital
(numbers) information to a pager using the Stamp and a modem and a bit of
code. Download cermetek.zip from Parallax for details.

online from http://www.robotstore.com there you will find an endless
array for all your wireless needs. i got one and i can control my
robots from up to 200 ft away and i can reprogram the BS2 while it is
on and running i just cancel the current prog and write the new one
very effective. you may need to make some sort of transmission base
to caonnect to your comp.

I am looking to have two BSII's or BSIISX's communicate far and fast
wirelessly. Does anyone know of a cheap way to do this, or what would be the
best product to buy from parallax to do this. I know they have a couple of
things to accomplish this, I only don't know which is the best. Any
information or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of
a cheap color camera and transmitter to be but on a small mobile robot would
be very useful. Thanks
Travis

HOW FAR and HOW FAST ? That's a start : )

There are numerous options, depending on the exact application, and
the price range which is comfortable for you. There are Infrared
solutions, RF solutions, and others as well.

There is no one-size-fits-all for this type of equipment.
What works well for one application may not work well for another.
What is it that you are planning to transmit ? Data ? Commands ?
Beacon information ?

How "cheap" is "cheap" and what is you level of expertise with
video equipment in general ? There are literally hundreds of
options from $50.00 US and up. Was this to be part of the wireless
system as well ?
More information is needed.

an invention with
a stamp as the "brains". Take a look at the links below. I've used these
modules and got the
50' nominal range right out of the box (with a little work, they will do
somewhat better). The
first link is the details of the pieces; the second is an example of a working
arrangement.
These modules are cheap and easy to interface to the stamp.

I want to have two basic stamps be able to send data back and forth across
the room (say 50' to 100' feet) without any wires connecting the two. I
assume this would be using some sort of (RF). Can anyone give me a good
source of information (books, web sites, etc..) for someone who knows
nothing about this technology.
Thanks,

able to use.Otherwise try Lemos International @ 508 798-5004

Hi Wayne,
There are quite a few options for doing this with the Stamp. Here are several
remote control, and wireless communications projects using RF & Infared.
http://www.rentron.com/remote.htm
This page has a very simple circuit that works excellent for sending infrared
data
between two Stamps. http://www.rentron.com/Infrared_Remote_Control.htm
We have a small 8-pin PIC that is pin programmable to provide 38KHz to 40KHz
for the carrier. The rest is simple. Just use SEROUT to send data to another
Stamp,
and SERIN to receive data. You could easily set up an infrared communications
system between several BASIC Stamps.
Linx Technologies has an excellent assortment of RF modules at:
