Hi, serial cable removed, replaced with wireless terminal such as IR
Archiver

Can this be possible that I make a transceiver terminal at the PC and
also at the Board of Basic stamp like IR link so that I don't have to
connect the Board ot the PC everytime I need to download programs?
I need some helpful inputs here or tutorials.
Thanks.

There are very few remote programming facilities for the Basic Stamp. Some
of the reasons are due to the critical timing and specialized protocol the
STAMP Editor uses to communicate with the Stamp during the programming
cycle. That being said, the following is an RF product which is designed
just for
that purpose: http://www.electrowave.com/products/stamper.shtml .
Beware of the price one must pay to enjoy the ability to remotely program
the Stamp by this method. This is not a DIY solution, nor do I know of a
DIY solution. I also would have my doubts about using I/R as a link for
remotely programming the Basic Stamp. That issue has to due with the
support of the
RS-232 control pins (lines other than Tx/Rx) which the Stamp Editor must
control for successful completion of the programming --> execution cycle.
There is one other facility you might consider. The STACHE Micro-programmer
is generally used for field upgrading of a Basic Stamp module. In a vague
sense this might also be considered "wireless programming" as the STACHE
is loaded with the Basic Stamp executable code at the PC end, then the STACHE
is removed from the PC, and then is connected to the Basic Stamp IC for
loading.
Thus, there is no continuous connection between the PC and the Basic Stamp
during the complete programming and loading process. You can learn more about
the STACHE Micro-programmer here: http://www.emesystems.com/stache.htm .
