A/D, EEPROM and Data to PC
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I am new here. Anyone can give me a help:
I try to use Stamp2 to build a data acquisition device for solar
energy monitoring.
For A/D, I like to use LTC1296, instead of LTC1298 on your manual, so
I can get 8 channels.
For EEPROM, I like to use 24LC256, instead of 93LC66, so I can get
256K memory.
Will these replacement work with sample programs included in BASIC
STAMP II STARTER KIT (manual version 1.9)?
I need periodically to transfer data stored in EEPROM to my PC
through the serial cable. Is there a sample program available?
Will my STARTER KIT works for Stamp2SX? Or do I need to purchase
extra software?
Thanks.

The current Stamp manual is version 2.0c, available for download from Parallax.
A great reference for making a data logger including several of the
issues that you mentioned is Scott Edwards' manual for the "Data
Collection Proto Board". The product is discontinued (I think), but
the manual is still available on line at:
http://www.seetron.com/pdf/dcpb_mnl.pdf
It uses AT25256 eeproms, which hang on the SPI interface built into
all of the Basic Stamps, instead of the 24LC256, which use the I2C
interface that is only available as a builtin command on the BS2P.
That is not to say you can't use I2c with the earlier stamps. It just
takes more code. Jeff Wallace has an I2C tutorial at:
http://www.high-techgarage.com/tutorial/i2c.php
If you want to use the AT25256 and can't find the part, send me an
email. I have lots of them on hand and could sell you a couple.
Any of the Stamps would work fine for your project, although the BS2p
is best if you want to use I2c. I am not sure which starter kit or
app notes you are referring to in your message.
