Hi!

I have made a data logger (hour: minute , month / day) from which I can
read eeprom's
datas back to a LCD by using serout command, no problems. But I wish to
transfert
thoses datas to my PC via the serial port as an EXCEL file or as a text
fils. The thing is,
theire will be about 1000 datas to transfert each time, which is lot of
job to do it
manually!

1- Is the PC may need any " data receiving software"?
2- As anyone have some codes example to do any datas transfert from bs2
to pc's file?

Thank you very much

    Go to www.parallax.com and take a look at Stamp DAQ. Logs directly into
    Excel.

    Another option is hyperterminal. You already have it on your PC,
    probably, under programs/accessories/communications. Once a serial
    connection is established, hyperterminal can capture all the data the
    stamp sends in a text file. If your Stamp sends comma or tab
    delimited fields, you can then import it right into Excel.

    I have an instructions on it for my customers at
    http://www.emesystems.com/OWL2HTPE.txt

    I think there is also a nice writeup at http://www.seetron.com/ht_tip1.htm

    Hi group,

    I want to take datas from my BS2 (date & time) and send it to a NTSC
    video
    signal mixed to an image from a CCD camera and recorded by a VCR, so the
    result
    on playback is the image from the CCD camera with the date & time
    somewhere on
    the bottom of the monitor. Does anyone have info ?

    Thanks
    Rene

    Hi Rene,

    I made a similar video overlay project for a trade show demo in the
    Parallax ESC booth. At the time, our booth consisted of over 20
    different Stamp demonstrations. The place looked like a laboratory
    and we even won the www.microcontroller.com "Best Booth Award" (not
    very good pictures, but you can look here
    http://www.microcontroller.com/esc/Fall99/index1.htm). . .thinking
    about the setup time makes me tired.

    The video project consisted of a camera high up on a pole with
    joystick interface and an NTSC video display at eye level. I used the
    http://www.icircuits.com OSD-232 device to show the time and
    horizontal/vertical angle of the camera on a small display. The OSD-
    232 works really well for this purpose.

    There's another device Stampers frequently use from
    http://www.decadenet.com/ that works the same you. You might want to
    compare features of these two devices.

    Sincerely,

    Ken Gracey

    Hello Rene,

    I have seen such a device, it's listed at Jameco's
    website. It's #162051, a serial text video overlay
    module. www.jameco.com
