Basic Stamp GUI

I am considering using the Basic Stamp to perform
linearization of a non-linear sensor. These sensors
are individually calibrated therefore, requiring
calibration of the Stamp.

I will be using a table of X, Y data to represent the
calibration curve of the sensor. By using
interpolation, a correction factor will be determined
and applied to the input signal.

What I desire to do, is provide the end-user with a
simple windows based interface where the number of
calibration point can be easily entered and the
corresponding pairs of X, Y calibration data.

I am sure that this can be easily done. Unfortunately
I am not a programmer, and do not have the expertise.
Can any one recommend some web-sites and so forth
that can provide guidance on how to design, develop
and implement a user interface for the Basic Stamp.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

    Hi John:

    We have a complete HMI package that will fit your needs nicely. Realizing
    the need for GUI front ends on projects created with the Stamp and other
    micro-processors, we have created a simple ASCII protocol that is easy to
    add to your controller code and talks directly to our HMI. Read and write is
    supported for bits, bytes and integers. If you would like, I can send you
    sample screen shots and a partial list of projects that have been created
    with our HMI and micro-processors including the Stamp. I will post the
    release date soon.

    Regards

    In Microcontroller Projects with Basic Stamps I have a VB DLL that talks
    to a Stamp and more or less makes it a slave to VB. This lets you use
    Visual Basic (or, in theory, anything that could use a VB OCX like an IE
    Web page or a C++ program) to control the Stamp.
