How receiving signals from IR-remote control

I have the Basic Stamps robot and I have to steer it with a remote
control.
For example: when you press 1 --> forward
4 --> left
6 --> right
8 --> back
do I have to use SERIN ?
if yes --> how do I use it?
no --> what else do I have to use?
thanks

What kind or remote control? RF ? IR?
If IR, are you using a Sony Remote?

These come with a small purple remote control.
This isn't really a 'Basic Stamps robot', though
it DOES have a basic stamp in it.
There are two models. One is the 'Build Your
Own Robot Kit (known as BYORK). The other is the
'SumoBot'. The BYORK has a socket for a BS2,
but doesn't actually have a BS2 in the socket.
You'll have to buy one if you want to program it.
The 'SumoBot' comes with an OEM Stamp processor
on-board.
You can just use the remote to steer the bot.
If you want to program it, you need a straight
through DB-9 cable, and download the Parallax
BS2 compiler from www.parallax.com.
Then, plug the serial cable into your PC, the
other end into the DB-9, and start up the
'Stamp' program. Get a copy of the 'Template'
for the SumoBot from the CD that should have
come with it -- or go to the Yahoo 'tabrobot'
group. Start with that template, and code
away.

Another is LIRC.....

The hardware is very similar to what your attempting to build. Unless your kit
has an add on module....if so that would be the best route to go. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

it is an Boe Bot with BS2
steering with Philips Remote (IR)

I don't know anything about the Phillips, but if it is like the Sony Remote,
you have to have a program to decode the incoming IR string into something the
Stamp can understand. Then you tell the Stamp, if the IR signal was a "1",
make both servos go forward.
You also have to have an IR detector - something like the Vishay TSOP1140 -
that can receive the incoming IR string.
Sorry I can't help you more. If you want to throw away your Phillips and
switch to a Sony Remote, I can send you the code I use to control my BoeBot.
I would think the vendor of the Phillips would have some kind of program to
decode the IR string into something useful. And remember, the IR signal isn't
0's and 1's like a computer - its all narrows and wides. Narrow is a 0 and
wide is a 1 after they are decoded.

Although this article deals mostly with interfacing a PC to a Philps IR Remote,
there may be information that's helpful:
http://cgl.bu.edu/GC/shammi/ir/
There are also additional links at the end of that article.

looked to read one ASCII character, did an if/then test and gosub to the
routine that did the function I wanted. For example: If character = 55
then gosub turnright. It went to the 'turnright' subroutine and then
returned and was directed back to serial input to look for the next
character. Works fine. You could also look for a string of characters and
decifer them to go to subroutines in some sequence if you'd like, but that
becomes more complicated.

I have the Basic Stamps robot and I have to steer it with a remote
control.
For example: when you press 1 --> forward
4 --> left
6 --> right
8 --> back
do I have to use SERIN ?
if yes --> how do I use it?
no --> what else do I have to use?
