Serializing Sensors with a bs2sx stamp

Does anyone know of a device that will allow you to combine many
sensors to communicate on one I/O Port of a BS2SX Stamp? The device
would have to do this while still allowing the stamp to know which
sensor is triggered. I don't have enough I/O ports to put on all
the sensors that I want. Thanks.

    You may want to check out the I2C sensors (2 ports) or investigate the
    possible CS features using a demux IC (3 to 4 ports) to select up to 16
    sensors. A lot depends on the sensor you are trying to use and what
    requirements it needs. Also the One Wire devices are able to be placed on a
    bus and activated by a match rom command to talk to each sensor separately.
    Again what is your application and number of sensors and sensor types you
    want to use.

    Sam,

    If the timing of the additional input signals is not SUPER critical, you can
    use a serial shift register. Using jus a few stamp lines (3 I think) you can
    expand to 8, 16, 24, 32 ........additional inputs. The Parallax web sight has
    the schematic and code example.

    Ken
