Mixing BSs and SXs

inaki

Now that I have a brand new Professional Dev Board I am thinking seriously in connecting Basic Stamp and SX to perform collaborative tasks. Formerly I have worked with stamps by one side and PICs by other side, and although occasionally I have connected PICs and BSs I have found that the PDB is·'the' platform to experiment with that idea.

My question is: is there any resource to·get ideas for·performing collaborative tasks between Stamps and SX?
By the way, will Stampworks 2 cover this issue ?

My column in the January issue of Nuts & Volts shows how to build an LED multiplexer from the SX28 that takes serial data from a BASIC Stamp -- I developed this project on an early PDB.· And yes, StampWorks 2 (I'm working on now) will have a bonus project that shows the [noparse][[/noparse]simple] integration of the BASIC Stamp and SX28.

Guess what. My first atempt to connect a BS to a SX has been·precisely to output a value from the BS·to the SX using a serial pin and the displaying it with the SX using the 7 segment array on the PDB. It is amazing your article on N&V works on this too!

Unfortunately I do not have that issue of N&V. Is there any way to download that article on line ?. I know N&V back issues can be ordered on line, but I would like to have it as soon as possible. It is·too bad·N&V does not offer electronic downloading of magazines. I would like to see it on the Zinio magazines catalog.
