Downloading EEPROM data from Stamp
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hi,
I'm new to the list. I have a Stamp application that
logs data to the internal EEPROM of the stamp. When I
need to download the stored data from the Stamp I run
another Stamp program that sends all EEPROM data to my
PCs serial port using the DEBUG command. The PC runs
Windows Hyperterminal and all the data is
automatically logged to a file. I then open that file
in EXCEL and process the data.
I would like to write a Visual Basic program that
accepts and processes the serial port data directly.
Has anyone done this? I'm pretty good with VB but
have not experimented with the serial port. Thanks.

and stores it, then generates the excel sheets and graphs for me. You
need to use the MSCOMM control. Just stick it on the form and use the
On_Comm command. Also check the MSDN website, there is a good example
on there. I had never written a program using VB before and I had the
whole thing working within three days. Good luck.
