Hi:
Need some help with a programming question. I would like to use a database
maintenance program to download a command to the stamp editor (under a timer
program control) to load and run a specific stamp program. I have no trouble
copying programs into the editor, but have no idea how to get them to run under
program control.
Thanks in advance for any help.

With either, you can load eight programs (1 per bank).
The trick is knowing when to switch, especially if you want to send the
command through the programming port. If I were to tackle this problem, I
think I would structure each program to send a "ready" character that the pc
would immediately respond to (if a program change was required).

Thanks for your response. I have been trying different ways to download to
the stamp from DOS. I have not been successful. Is it possible, from the DOS
prompt
to download a program from the editor to the stamp?
It's seems so very simple, I'm sure I missing the obvious. I need an
alternative to the "Alt r" that I can stick in a DOS program. Is this
possible?
Thanks again
Larry

from http://home.earthlink.net/~botronics/index/balibot.html as a way to program
the BS2 to read the IR distance measuring sensors to make the robot balance on
two wheels. My first problem is how to use the ADC commands and all that stuff.
The program was written in Pic-Basic on the link above. I figured it wouldn't be
too difficult but I guess i definitely need some help. As you can tell I dont
have very much experience at programming, can anyone help me.
