I am looking for anyone who has experience in methods of driving a
BS2 program, via parameters entered into Windows type programming
(Excel spreadsheets etc), to use the Windows programming as the front
end to a BS2 control program for machine/industrial controls etc.?

    I have no specific experience, but there is an article in the Oct
    Nuts&Volts magazine about using Excel and a Stamp.

    SIMPLE INTERFACE USES COMMON TOOLS
    Using a BASIC Stamp, InByte, and Microsoft Excel (of all things!) to
    make a "homebrew" interface program to read bytes of data.

    StampPlot Version 3 is about to be formally released. It includes
    the ability to create (or use pre-defined) GUI interfaces for the
    Stamp.

    Example code to read a slider on StampPlot named 'sldSet'

    Setpoint VAR Word
    DEBUG "!READ sldSet",CR
    SERIN 16,84,[noparse][[/noparse]DEC SetPoint]

    Additionally, we are implementing a FREE license for Home/educational
    users for the Standard version (which does not include the ability to
    use drag and drop tools to create your own configurations), but that
    can be done through code pretty easily too.

    I hope to have the new final version posted within 2 weeks.
