I would like to monitor a remote location using the Debug screen. Is there anyway that this could be put on a Web Page.
Thank You
Guido

    Guido,

    I pretty new at this... I've had a stamp for 4 days. But I am also wrestling with a similiar question. For the device I am trying to design I'm thinking of using Bluetooth for communication, but my range requirements are fairly short.

    A lot will depend on what hardware and comm lines you have at the remote location. If you have a unix box (Linux, or whatever) you could hook up pin1 of the basic stamp, which is serial out, to a comm port. Then have a process that just sucks in whatever is feed to it and stuff it into an file. You'd need to devise a format for the data so that the you could predictable create the desired file. This file could either be an html file or a text file depending on your needs / desires. If the remote box was running a web server, you'd be able to display it directly via the server. Otherwise you'd need to ftp it to the target web server on a periodic basis. Lot's of different ways to accomplish this based upon the specific requirements.

    These are my rough thoughts. I sure that others with way more experience with stamps will show me the error in my ways.

    Jim

    Jim -

    Just so you don't lead yourself astray, any pin port on the Stamp can be used for SERIN/SEROUT. It is suggested that you use an inline resister to prevent any possible overcurrent damage to the pin port, when using other than the DEBUG port. The DEBUG statement is nothing but a specialized SERIN/SEROUT.

    Regards,

    Bruce Bates

    Well you didn't mention what you had available to transport the web pages. If you have a phone line why don’t you use the modem that parallax sells. http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=603-00011 I haven't used one yet but I think it will work for what you’re trying to do. Check out the app kit download, they have a remote project in there.
