Has anyone interfaced a BS with a GPIB interface? I am curious as to how
complex this would be and what chipsets and special code would be required
to accomplish it.

Thanks,

Shawn

    Shawn,
    I have not interfaced GPIB to the stamp but I did do some GPIB
    interfacing with a Macintosh serial port. I used a neat little device
    made by Keithley Instruments called "500-serial". It converts serial
    commands to GPIB protocol. It is only about the size of a DB25
    connector hood. Inside it has a processor that does all the work! I
    don't think you want to tackle GPIB directly with the Stamp; it is a
    messy protocol and quite fast. The Keithley device was about $225
    when I got it and well worth it.
