Has anyone played with controlling loads by X-10 with Basic Stamp?
Where can I find "how to" information on using Basic Stamp with X-10
module?

Much thanks in advance.

    Older versions of the Basic Stamp Manual had an entire appendix on the
    subject.
    at www.x10.com you can find a couple of technical doc's if you drill into
    their tech support links a bit...

    Google searches on the subject once gave more info than I could ever digest
    in a day....

    yes, the programming manuals (version 1.9 and 2.0 at least) tell you most
    of what you should know (Xout command), and more or less all I was able to
    find...I spent most of my time figuring out the correct pinning on the X10
    interface.

    I've also found the X10 'Firecracker' module
    pretty easy to interface with, and it lets you
    control the X10 stuff via wireless, which cuts
    the cord a little. See www.x10.com, and search
    for 'firecracker'. They're not too expensive
    ($30.00 for module, base station, and one
    X10 appliance module).
