STAMP Project Questions
Wonder if any STAMPers out there can help me get
started on a new STAMP II project.
I have keyboard generating ASCII characters fed into a
STAMP II. I want to be able to first send a letter A
thru K then a number 1 thru 12 to the stamp and be
able to control different subroutines with the
different combinations of (letters/numbers). I am not
sure of the most efficient way to get started with
this project?? Got any ideas?
thanks
Tom

values to a sequential series that can be used with BRANCH to call desired
code sections. There's a good discussion in the Parallax manual. You can
download it from our web site: www.parallaxinc.com.

That is 11*12=132 possible subroutines, if they are all implemented.
Here is a way to do it if you limit the numbers to 0 to 9, because
that is a little easier:
letterin:
serin pin,baud,[noparse][[/noparse]letter] ' expect ascii 65,..,75
branch letter-65,[noparse][[/noparse]LA,LB,LC,...,LK] ' letter-65 is 0,1,2,..,10
goto letterin ' bad letter
getnumber: ' subroutine
serin pin,baud,[noparse][[/noparse]number]
return
LA:
gosub getnumber ' expect ascii 48,50,..,57
branch number-48 ,[noparse][[/noparse]AN0,AN1...,AN9] ' A subroutine to execute 0,1,..,9
goto letterin ' bad number
LB:
gosub getnumber ' expect ascii 48,50,..,57
branch number-48 ,[noparse][[/noparse]BN0,BN1...,BN9] ' B subroutine to execute
goto letterin ' bad number
' and so on L:,..,LK
' then the actual business routines...
AN0:
' routine for "A0"
go to letterin
' and so on
You probably also need a timeout on the serin commands, in case the
input gets fried or out of sync. See the manual.
