DTMF and Multiple stamps
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I have a project, actually a continuation of a previous project that I
am attempting to enhance.
What I would like to do is set up a small "network" of stamps....each
with their own unique program.
The setup would be several "slaves" with one "master"
What I want to do is to program the master to output a signal preferably
DTMF tones to the slaves. All of the slaves would be listening. When
the slave "hears" its code from the master it would execute its program
then return to the listening state.
This way multiple stamps could be listening then performing their tasks
independently of each other "cued" by the master.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If it can be done more
simply without DTMF I'd also be interested.
Any code or schematic suggestions greatly appreciated.

You don't need to use DTMF tones for your Stamp network.
Visit the Parallax web site and download the application KIT
data for the Texas Instruments SN75176 RS-232 to RS-485
Long Distance Communication AppKIt (7 pp.)
This has all the information (including easily modifiable source
code) you'll need to design a Stamp based network.

Bruce,
Thanks for your response!! I am going to try this with 2 BSII's starting
out. But in the end the whole show will probably have 20 or more!!
Thanks again!

You're very welcome. Sounds like you have some big plans
for that network. Best of luck with it.
