Does anyone know if there is somekind of SDK for the Basic stamp 2 about interfacing it with robitics studio?· What would really help is a basic explanation -- put this code in the stamp (explaining how it activiated a pin and communicated it·etc)-- create this code in C# (explaing what it is sending, or recieving)·to the chip--- and finally set these modules in Robotics studio.·

I might be asking to much but if anyone can provide a link or some hints I'd appreciate it.

Do you already have the "sdk" (Basic Stamp Editor) for the BS2 installed on your PC, and know how to use it to program the BS2?

Do you already have the MS Robotics Studio software development system installed on your PC, and know how to use it in general to write/debug/run programs (of any kind)?

What to hint at where you start would depend on where you are in the process now.

I do have the Basic stamp editor installed, and·know how to use·it to write·and upload programs to the bs2.·I have C# development studio, and robotics studio installed as well.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,
I have been trying to get basic info from this forum for weeks, It just does not happen very often. So what you end up doing is making little beeping robots that bump into stuff and go in circles with little lights flashing....wopeeee! MSRS is fun untill you try to go beyond the tutorial with a Bs2. There just is not enough detailed info about the spiders nest of little bits of convoluted microsoft proprietary software to go any further. Good Luck ( Ireally do mean that ) but be prepared to spend hundreds of hours with very little return. I really am begining to think that this forum is just a debugging tool for the powers that be. Unless you bring some high level interesting problem, you will be in the dark.

grumpy today


I would really would love to delete this post, but that would not be fair to the members who responded to this embarassing post I placed. I really did not have the right to say that I have not had help on this forum because I have had plenty. I just lost it after many hours and days of frustration on my own project. And as far as MSRS is concerned version 1.0 works with the Boe Bot just fine. MSRS 1.5 does not seem to work that well. I am truly sorry I offended those who go out of their way to help others on this forum.

Hey grumpy,
Sorry you feel that way. Do keep in mind that the Microsoft Robotics Studio is a Microsoft product with most of it provided by Microsoft. Parallax has added the bits that customize it for the BS2. I am truely surprised at the number of people who are trying it. Personally, I have an extremely low opinion of the product since I think it adds very very little to the BS2 or BOE-BOT and appears to be very complicated for what it does.

Most of the people who frequent this forum do not appear to use Microsoft Robotics Studio and that may account for the low level of activity. Looking at your other thread, there actually seems to have been quite a bit of response and suggestions.

I hope you get a chance to enjoy some sunlight and fresh air given that it is Spring and there are bits of nice weather happening. I would offer some suggestions, but I don't use MSRS, did look at it when it first came out. Sorry.

Do look at the links from the Parallax BOE-BOT MSRS product page www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28118 if you haven't already. You may find something useful.

Hi Tom, sorry you feel grumpy we all have those days. I think its unfair and untrue to say that the only questions that get answered are "high level". I read these posts every day and there are people here who answer the simplest of questions with the greatest of patience. I think the problem here is that the questions are about things unrelated to Parallax products and unless anyone has dealt with MSRS , ROBOREALM or C# they are going to be just as in the dark as anyone else.

I guess I am being selfish. Sorry about that. I need some sleep I suppose. Not getting much lately with these darn programming problems. For all the guys who take time to help newbies like me I want to say thanks.

Thanks for the reply(s). I figured it was a long shot since this is a forum for a parallax and not microsoft. I have figured out a few of my questions on my own (I have successfully converted the basic boe bot code to work with Robotics studio using a serial port rather than the blue tooth module). As for the rest of it given time I'm sure I'll get a handle on it.

Great Tom, perhaps you will become the expert in MSRS that this forum needs to help the others. Just remember that bluetooth is just serial data over the radio as far as the robot is concerned.

That is what I noticed. I just had to eliminate some of the code, and change the serin and out Rpin values to 16.
