I have posted before on this forum asking for help for a report I am writing.
I have one more question (at this point possibly more later).
Can anyone who is involved in designing systems for industry using the Basic Stamp and/or the PIC controllers please give me some examples of the applications they are used for.
Thanks in advance

This shows several applications using the PIC for LCD controllers,
A/D measurements, servo controllers, I/O expanders ICs, infrared
communications, serial keypads, temperature measurement, etc,,.
With the PIC or BASIC Stamp, you can easily create your own
custom integrated circuits to replace sometimes hard to find, or
more expensive pre-manufactured solutions.

I've used them for:
PhotoChemical replenishment chemical blender systems
Digital printers, both for exposure control, and all related paperdeck functions
All kinds of timers, and small process controllers
Infra-red measurement of photographic, light-sensitive materials
and probably a dozen others that I can't think of right now.
Yes, they're expensive, but I've found them to be quickly implementable,
and fairly robust in the field. I've shipped them all over the world.

I'm using bs2sx's for fluid measurement and access control with ibuttons. We
link the stamp to existing fuel bowser computers. Also doing data transfer
with memory ibuttons and download of data via gsm phone network and VB6.
They say that a bs2 can't talk to an ibutton but we have 70 systems out
there doing it, even with the 64K memory buttons. System has user interface
via RTN serial keypad and display, easiest to use, see www.nollett.com.au
We also use bs1 for rollover devices on vehicles, links to special battery
isolation switch and disconnects battery on rollover.

with the last three years. Downsizing did me in, but I'm working on some
related products of my own to compete with the ex-employer. The Stamp stuff
is just a hobby at the moment.

Could you be persuaded into giving us some details/code snippets
showing your BS2/BS2SX iButton input-output techniques? That's a
pretty stunning achievement.
Thanks and regards,
Steve

The ground work was done in conjunction with another person, and it is also
a commercial application. I can't give any code, but as Parallax (the gods)
have now made the bs2p which can do the ibutton stuff, it is now sort of
available to everybody anyway if they wish to spend the extra $$.
However, we have received plenty of good advice from this group, so....
The secret is to use the DS2480B driver. But there are a few quirks which
took us some time and embarrassment (from clients erratic systems) to iron
out. The line driver reduces all of the pain, to serout and serin
statements, but there are a few catches. There is really nothing else to do
except get the sequence of serin / serout stuff correct. For a bloke like
you who coded the Stache, I'm sure this is no problems. (I have 2 stache's,
and used them extensively around Australia to fix our ibutton early bugs).
I don't think the bs2 would be reliable enough to comm with the ds1996
ibutton, as plenty of both ways comms are required, in blocks od data at
9600, but a ds1990a with bs2 should be no problem, overclocking a bs1 may
even work, allthough I have'nt tried it. We only use the bs2sx, as we are
also counting pulses from encoders and looking for interupt pins etc at the
same time, therefore the bs2sx is for us for its speed.
While we're here, is there an egroup for SXtech stuff ??

Chris

I use a Stamp II SX for two applications :
- central heating control (home), with real time clock, display and keyboard
- a fault display and a bad product rejection system (shift register) for a menthol dosing device used in the tobacco industry
I hope those 2 projects aren't in your list yet :-)
Best regards,
Phil.
