Visual Basic and the BS2
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I want to use a Visual Basic program to take parameters input in a
window and turn that input into a program running on a BS2. Has
anyone written or seen a compiler that can load from VBasic to a BS2?
Alternatively, does anyone have other suggestions on how to
accomplish this task?

You can send data to or from the stamps program using vb. If your talking about
loading a complete compiled program to the stamp, I have never seen this done.
If someone were to do this they should go ahead and use a pic and use vb to
compile the program "If this is even possible". Hope this helps. Sorry Im not a
VB expert. I bet some other stampers may be able to help you out more.

The Basic Stamp is an interpreter chip and uses only Pbasic, but either the
Atom or the Basic X-24 chip will
do the task. I am not sure which one though can be programed with Visual Basic.
Have Fun !!

than others (which I'm not convinced is a good thing).
However, what you probably want to do is send VB data to the Stamp via
RS232. I've had some projects of the months about that although I don't
know if any are online. You can see how it works in reverse (stamp ->
VB) in http://www.al-williams.com/stampcom.zip.
www.rentron.com may have some stuff. Also check out www.lvr.com

What you could do is use the Command Line switches available on the
new stamp software. You would input the parameters in VB, output a
*.BS2 file and then call the STAMPW.EXE file with a few command line
switches and download the new program. It is very easy to do from
VB. I am working on a project that is similar to this and think I
might have found a small bug in the STAMPW software. Just waiting on
a reply from Parallax tech support before I finish it.
The command line documentation is available on the Parallax
site. If you need some help just let me know and I might be able to
help.

the /download parameter isn't working correctly. It returns an error

how we run it from a VB GUI.
Thanks for the help!

BTW trying the ">>" didn't help, nor did moving around the quotes or
eliminating them altogether.
Thanks Again

executing it. You must convert the filenames to the short DOS
versions.
I tried calling the STAMPW.EXE with the command line directly from VB
via the ShellExecute API function, but haven't had much luck using
the WaitForSingleObject function to let me know when the process is
complete so that I can open the output file to get the results.
So I use the BAT file and simply check for the output files
existence. You must also check to make sure the output file contains
data as well before trying to get the reults. Once StampW opens the
output file for writing, it will exist on the system, but contain no
data. You must wait for StampW to close the ouput file before you
can grab the result data.
I will write an example VB project for doing this after work and post
it to the group for those of you interested.

program a Stamp from VB. The file "bs2download.zip" is in
the "Files" section on Yahoo Groups or can be downloaded here:
http://vboverdrive.extreme-vb.net/bs2download.zip
Once you run the project, simply point to STAMPW.EXE and the file you
wish to download. Then press the "Download" button. You can also
choose whether or not to show prompts and debug windows...
I added comments to help understand my coding.

can help explain please feel free to do so (in simple terms please).
I am not highly versed in programming (though I'm getting reasonably
decent with PBasic [noparse]:)[/noparse]).
I'm wondering why Parallax can't or hasn't created some reduced
form of the stamp editor (perhaps similar to the StampLoader.exe)
that can be called by a VBasic, JAVA, or other GUI App, to compile
and load a text file to a stamp (presuming BS2 or higher)? Can you
not create something (perhaps a single executable) that can be
distributed with a VBasic app, such that the source code is still
protected, as you discussed in the "new compiler" thread earlier?
The scenario I imagine is that the GUI App generates a text file
following PBasic protocol, and then sends that text file to a stamp
compiler/loader to run the program on a stamp.
I know the group has been over this because of one of my previous
questions, and I really appreciate all the advice and references I
received, but the project I am working on could be made much easier
if the above were possible, as opposed to merely communicating new
data and/or variables to the stamp through a serial port.
Thanks in advance!
Don
be called from other programs with command line switches that will cause it
to run silently, compiling downloading and running a program. There is even
an option to open the DEBUG window (if you have DEBUG in your code) -- while
the rest of the compiler runs "silent."
I documented this in a Nuts & Volts article some time ago. But so you don't
have to look it up, here's the command line I send to the Stamp compiler from
EditPlus -- my favorite programming editor:
C:\Parallax\stampw.exe /download /noprompts "$(FilePath)"
The quotes are necessay if your path to the PBASIC program includes spaces
(long file names).
To get the complete list of switches (normally displayed when you select the
Custom option during install), you can do this:
1. Open a DOS Window
2. Move to your Stamp compiler directory
3. Enter: stampw /help

I will get with the VB programmer I am working with and see if she can
build something simple to try this!
