Pocket PC Programming
I am using your sumobot kits in my schools robotics club and wanted to know if there is a way to write programs and program basic stamp controllers with pocket pc over serial. Thanks

The BasicStamp can recieve IR from a remote control and decode the buttons.

Could you link some more info on your suggestion?

Parallax did publish a book on Communications that is currently ON SALE. It includes an IR section. Additionally, there is the possibility of using a PocketPC with a BlueTooth link [noparse][[/noparse]or at least a Palm]. In that case, you need to program the PDA using one of several C compilers that are available for such.
All this is pretty speculative because I really don't have the time to thoroughly research it.

In short, if your "insert device name here" can make use of Parallax's library for the programming details, then yes, your·"insert device name here"·can be used to program the Basic Stamp. Otherwise, you are limited to communicating with a program that you have programmed into the Stamp using a "conventional" method.

There's two uses of connecting to a BOE-BOT remotely. One is to actually PROGRAM the BS2 on the BOE-Bot. This is not trivial. The other is to TALK TO the BS2 on the BOE-BOT using the 'Port 16'. This is fairly easy.
Most user's seem to want to merely TALK TO their BOE-BOT, but ask the question as if they wanted to PROGRAM it. Thus they get answers that don't help them very much.
So, which do you want to do? Do you really want to PROGRAM your BOE-BOT wirelessly? Or can you achieve your purposes by merely TALKING TO a program on the BS2 you've written and downloaded earlier?
