Pink and RF transmitters

Dgswaner

can someone tell me if the pink could be used as a webserver for several stamps at once. Example:

setup the Pink board and a basicstamp in a central location. Each Project would communicate to the pink board with something like the Parallax 433 MHz RF Transmitter. to send and receive data. Adding additional transmitters would allow for more bots to connect at the same time.

on the web server I would have a main page and then link to webpages for each bot. these pages would show input states or what ever I wish to send.

it would be cool to have a "base station" that all my projects connect to and are accessible via the web. the theory seems sound but I just don't know if it would actually work.

thanks

Hello,

If the “base station” BASIC Stamp was connected to the PINK and the remote units all have transceivers I could see this working. The ‘base’ would poll each remote station for information/updates and post that information directly to the PINK module itself. It would also send information from the PINK out to the remote stations as needed. I hope this helps. Take care.

I've got my "base Station" up and running all except for the RF Link to my robot, I've tried using the 27980 27981 modules from Parallax, but I can't get them to work, I've read every post dealing with them, I've concluded that I have too much interference for these modules, and I can't do anything to eliminate the interference. I'm not positive where it's coming from but I have a Wireless N router several wireless mouse/keyboards, and a lot of neighbors close by. none of which are going away soon.

My Question: What would be the best way for a bot to communicate back to my "base station" I've asked this question before but I want to give all of the info so that I don't spend more time, money and effort on a product that won't work for my situation.

the purpose of this project is to, allow me to get sensor data and info from a bot on the fly with out a wire connected, so I can trouble shoot any issues. the other purpose is to allow a bot to be controlled via the web. I would prefer to be able to transmit/receive to multiple bots at one time, but it's not critical.
I have the Pink Netburner, and and OEMbs2 to control the RF module. Should I go with bluetooth, or is there some other type of device that would be a better solution.

I would like to put the base in with my router and modem (in the basement) which means at some points a bot could be 2 levels above. which even restricts the wireless router a bit.

Added: I also need something that will work with the propeller
