Wiring Trans/Rev to Basic Stamps for Serin/Serout

Guido

I am attempting to wire a wireless Transmitter and Receiver to Two Stamps using Serin/Serout and I am confused about the wiring for each.
Could I wire directly from the SIOPIN ( Data Out), FCPIN (Grnd) to the transmitter and reciver or do I need some kind of a resistor network......
Thank You

Paul Baker

can you provide what RF pair modules you are using?

I did an Ebay thing, hoping this would have a 100 foot range. Here are some specs and picture of the unit.

Hmmm well that makes answering you question quite difficult since I am at a loss on how to obtain more information about the unit. Where you provided with a hook up diagram/spec sheet/example code? They state easy hookup with a basic stamp which infers it is operated off of 5V but this is not a gaurentee that it does. I hope this doesn't turn into a YGWYPF lesson (you get what you pay for).

Correction, it is a 5V unit you may interface it directly with your stamp.

Tell me about it!!
I does say 5 volt supply, don't want to gamble on looooosing a Stamp, So do you have any ideas?

Paul Baker

It should be fine, if you want to be extra careful you can place 220Ω resistors in series on the signal lines.

Thank You Paul,
I will give it a try and see what happens.....Will post if or when I get it going!
Thanks Again for your Help
