computer to BS2

Archiver

Hello All,
Does anyone know how to send a txt file from from the computer to the
basic stamp?
I've finished the basic stamp side of the serin commands and I can
send info from the debug terminal to the stamp with no problem, but
now I what to send a whole file...Any help would be great.
Thanks

Here is one way. Are you sending the file from your PC? Do you have
a copy of Procomm, or some other capable terminal program? If so,
set its inter-character "pacing" to 20 milliseconds. Now connect
your Stamp up to the PC with Procomm running. 9600 baud. Get your
stamp system to the point where it is ready to accept the file data.
Now tell Procomm you want to send an ascii text file, and choose your
file. Procomm will send the file just as if you had typed it in,
with enough time in between the characters to allow the Stamp time to
write the data to eeprom.

I hope that helps
