Hello,
I was wondering what is required in order to have a stable conection between the Robot (Boe) and a Laptop?
Im not sure how the 2 comunicate. Like for example i Buy the humidity Sensor, how will it transmit data?

Thanks

    1) The 2 url's u gave me are the same
    2)Ive already been there
    3) That thing he uses is only to send commands. How will the Humidity Sensor send data to Laptop?

    Sorry about that... the link that I sent is actuall the best of all the links on this subject because it has example code and schematics.

    The process would go like this...

    1. Stamp A will read the sensor. Stamp A will then output the data (as serial information) to the transmitter (serout)

    2. The transmitter will broadcast the signal

    3. The signal (serial infrmation) will be picked up by the receiver (serin) that is connected to Stamp B

    4. Stamp B will send the data to your computer (debug or serout)

    I think you may be a bit confused because you will need two Stamps to achieve what you want to do. One Stamp generate the message to broadcast, one Stamp to interpret what is being received.
