newbie with a project

Archiver

Hi
I am self employed and work in the security industry ( cctv and access control
mainly )
I use a device (xbob)which overlays text from a POS device( Cash register ) on
to video.

What I need is some sort of controller that would send the clear screen command
to my xbob if it did not recieve any data for say 1 minute.

Also i would be interested to know what other features such a device could bring
to the xbob

I have no knowledge of micro controllers or basic stamp but would like to hear
from somebody local (Ireland or england ) that could help me out .

hey i have the anaconda (analog cam)
http://www.x10.com/products/x10_sc18a.htm
to keep an eye on my Suzuki Vitara,
last week a thief comes an steal my beer cooler and
all my recordable music CDs. I have all the process on
tape, but i dont know exactly WHEN (date, hours,
minutes, seconds) it happens. I know the xbob can do
that but i not buy it yet ? do u know a chipest way to
do that?

As i seen the xbob uses the serial port for
communication so u can send the clear command "{A17"
and others commands with the BS2 for the time lap you
wish

Here’s a simple QuickBASIC tm programming example:
' BOB-3 Test Program ....Provides a very brief
exercise....
OPEN "com1: 9600,n,8,1,cs0,ds0,cd0,op1000,rs" FOR
OUTPUT AS #1
PRINT #1, "{A17"; 'Clear the screen, in case we've
been playing
PRINT #1, "{C1101"; 'Print title in center of 2nd
line...
PRINT #1, "BOB-3 Test Program"
PRINT #1,
PRINT #1, "Time: "; TIME$
PRINT #1, "Date: "; DATE$
PRINT #1, "{U0{D0" 'Set background attribute for RAM &
ROM chars
PRINT #1, "RAM characters are next... ";
PRINT #1, "{T4"; 'Prepare to print a few RAM
characters
PRINT #1, CHR$(0); CHR$(1); CHR$(2); CHR$(3); CHR$(4);
CHR$(5); CHR$(6);
PRINT #1, CHR$(33); CHR$(34); CHR$(35); CHR$(36);
CHR$(37); CHR$(38);
PRINT #1, "{T0" 'Return to normal ASCII translation
mode
CLOSE #1
END

Hi,
Liked the pictures but the quality is not that good for an ID

For cameras check out http://www.huntelec.co.uk/

for a time and date module (£39 )

www.planetcc.tv


the xbob would be a expensive way to go and you would still need something to
generate the time and date for your xbob to overlay .


The BS2 you mentioned can it support two serial ports
and only send the clear command ,to my xbob if no date has been recieved from my
POS device for a specified time (2 mins)
