Easiest RF link for BS2e

edited 2006-10-31 20:36 in BASIC Stamp
I did a search and found many threads on RFing data to and from cameras and such used with Basic Stamps.· But, I have not found a lot about just linking the serial·line to and from the stamp itself.

I am looking for the easiest, most painless, most transparent RF serial link to use with the Stamp.· Small is nice also, I would like to have it on my bot...lol

Anyone have any suggestions of what to look at first?

    Are you going Stamp to Stamp or PC to Stamp or...?

    I sell 2.4GHz, error corrected, flow control, la-di-da, etc etc., o

    TO send data:
    SEROUT pin,84,[noparse][[/noparse]"s"]
    Or from the PC you can use a terminal window to send a character.

    To accept data:
    SERIN pin,84,[noparse][[/noparse]x]
    IF X="s" Then ....

    Also, if needed, flow control can be used so the Stamp doesn't miss data, but the RF unit needs to be configured first, then:
    SERIN pin/RTSpin,84,[noparse][[/noparse]x]

    There are docs explaining use on the website.
    http://www.selmaware.com/appbee

    Parallax sells 433MHz modules for BS2 to BS2 and pretty easy to use, though prone to some error as it is not error checked data.
    THere's two options....

    I may have misread this the first time, are you looking to send video via the link?

    I primarily want to have two-way serial data communications from stamp to PC (just like when you program the stamp now), but the ability to do RF stamp-to-stamp would be nice also.

    Naturally, as soon as I posted this I found another thread on almost exactly the same subject.



    Thanks,
