Memory Choice & program BS2p40 (standalone)

Archiver

Hi all,

I have the BS2p24 demo board. After I did my program in PC, I need
to load to the board and run the debug window. Is it possible for me
to just have the program stored permanently into the chip itself and
I don't need to download from PC each time?

Another question, since the basic stamp is not designed for big
application. I need to download some image, I think I need some
external memory. Does anybody have any idea what external memory
will work best with basic stamp?
Also, has anybody work basic stamp with USB ?
Thanks for your attention.

When you download to the BASIC Stamp, the [noparse][[/noparse]compiled] program is stored in
EEPROM, so it stays there until you change it. The program will start from
the beginning after a reset. You can reset your project by cycling power or,
more simply, by pressing the reset button on the demo board.

The BS2p has eight program slots giving you up to 16K of code and data space.
You can learn how to utilize all eight slots for one application in my Nuts &
Volts article this month (July 2002).

You can use external memory with BASIC Stamps, but NOT for code space -- only
for data. The BS2p has built-in I2C commands and they can be easily added to
any of the other BS2 modules with a bit of code.

Parallax now sells a USB-to-Serial adapter that works with BASIC Stamps.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your quick response.
-About loading compiled code, I used the Bs2p demo board, and if I
stopped the debug window, my LCD stopped displaying. I pressed on
reset button, but it doesn't seem to reset the whole program until I
loaded from PC again. Do I need some instruction or set the reset
pin in my code?
- Cool! I can get more data space. But, where is Nuts and Volts
article? Inthe website, there is only up to 1998 edition. Where can
I find a complete set one?
- I can't find USB-to-Serial adapter on the website too. Under what
category?
Thanks for your help.
