Palm -> BS2 ?

Archiver

Has anyone done any work with a Palm Pilot and a BS2?

Here's my idea...

I have a Palm m125 and a BS2. What I want to be able to do is upload
new programs to the BS2, so I can edit the program out in the field.
I am using the BS2 to control a large robot, so it makes it a little
difficult to pull the chip out take it home, and reprogram it on my
computer. If I could do this with a palm pilot it would be soooo
much easier.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Jim

The www.emesystems.com 'Stache' module
(see parallax.com, under Products, Accessories)
is a small unit designed to allow you to
download Stamp programs in the field. You
write them to the 'stache' on your desktop,
then take the module to the field, connect it,
and press a button to download the program.

It is $99.00, ouch. There does exist on the
web somewhere the protocol Stamp uses for
downloads -- I believe they have VB use it.
