How do I tie Excel into a real time Stamp program?

AIman

Ok, I got Excel and the stamp to talk.·I downloaded the excel sheet posted by one of the Parallax guys. I can get all kinds of 1's and 0's to show up and go back and forth but some of the functions make the entire thing freeze and when I hacked the code the new commands did nothing.

How do I get code in Excel to run the stamp?

Example - I want to run a program where the Stamp gets its commands from Excel. The data is dumped into Excel, VBA reads the data, makes a decision and sends a command to the stamp.

How? The stamp·says things via debug in a stamp editor running with Windows, but how do I get VBA to usefully work with it?

The stamp editor is just reading the debug port (16?) all you have to do is send/receive data to the serial port connected to the stamp. (stop the stamp editor first or you will have a conflict for the port.
