TRF 2.4 GHZ tranceiver and the Basic Stamp

Hello,

I bought three of the Spark Fun TRF-2.4 Ghz transceivers this week.· Spark Fun supplied a PIC sample code, which looks like hieroglyphics·to me.·

Has anyone used these modules with a Basic Stamp?

    I have looked at the transceiver you bought but have not used it, I will·look at the code and see what I can do about distilling a PBasic version.

    Ok before I delve into this, have you taken look at the C code? It is a high level language like basic and is easier to translate between the two.

    Yes I did. Not much that I can understand out of it. PBasic is my limit, probably because it's the only thing I've been successful with.

    Ok I examined the code and the core of the PBASIC program would be using shiftin and shiftout routines, the only other portion required is the transceiver configuration. I can still write up skeleton routines for you, but there will still be some grunt work on your behalf, but I will do my best to explain what still needs to be taken care of in the comments portion. This will be my first PBasic program (or shell of one) since I own an SX and not a stamp (I'll likely break down and get one eventually to help other members, but not yet, at least until I aquire a PDB). So I will be unable to test the code for you, but you seem proficiency in PBasic so it shouldn't a serious issue.

    Paul,

    Thank you very much for your help. The configuration part has be absolutely baffled.

    That stuff is ganered from the spec sheet, its all in there, and just copying thier hex code cofiguration should be enough to get you on your way. Sorry I haven't·done this it yet been very busy going to doctors for my broken foot on top of the standard commitments.

    Paul,

    Again, thank you for your help. At this point, I'm considering sending them back. I'm concerned that I could start tinkering on these and not be able to get them to work and then not be able to return them.

    If I return them now, I could get some units that are easier to use and have a much higher chance of success.
