Basic Stamp Temp Sensor?
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Im new to basic stamps and was wondering if there is any way to get
on to monitor a large number of different temp sensors (10+ sensors)?
If so what would be the best way to link this to a computer? If this
is posable could osme one give me a link were to buy all the stuff I
would need? Thanks for your time.

these chips. The chip select (aka Reset) lines would have to be separate,
but you could put those through a 595 shift register to save I/O space. If
you use this type of setup you'll need 3 lines for the shift register and 2
for the DS1620 ICs (since the reset line will be connected to the shift
registers), daisy chain a few more shift registers and you could put nearly
an unlimited number on the stamp. Where you'll run into trouble is storing
all this data, the stamp's memory is a little limited for storing numbers
especially if you want to store the raw data from the DS1620 ICs. Also the
time it would take to get the data from the IC is another limiting factor,
if you have a huge amount of daisy chained shift registers it will take a
while for the stamp to work it's way through all the shift registers to get
to the desired DS1620.
As for a place to buy this stuff, Parallax's site sells all the parts you'd
need, however these are fairly common components and can be gotten from most
electronic shops.

Well hope this helped some and I hope my e-mail was to scatter brained, I
have a habit of doing that. ;-)
