Appmods?

Are all of the appmods that deal with tcp/ip settings specific to BASIC stamp? I need a way for my computer to communicate with the stamp over some sort of IP setting through like a modem or something (ran out of pins to do a hyperterminal hook up and I can't use the terminal in the SDK because I need to interface another program with the stamp). Has anyone done this before and if so could they send me some code? Thanks!

    Hi,

    I would guess after looking into it for a while, that the Stamp is sadly woefully in-adequate to deal with TCP/IP. There are some co-processors I found, the best being a "co-processor" from Maxim-IC (used to be Dallas Semi). The link is:

    Not sure if this is the exact item I was thinking about but its similar - have a browse on the site?!

    Failing that, what about getting a secondhand RedI webserver - I think they have been discontinued now.

    All in all, best stick to serial, i2c, CAN or maybe RS422/RS485 networks at best.

    The javelin can be used with a serial to ethernet converter.
    One alternative to the Redi is the Hellodevice, see thread
