Has anyone every tried to interface a smoke detector to the BASIC STAMP BS2? Either photoelectric or ion type?

Thanks,

WaveMan

    3 things come to mind.

    1 - if you just want to see if it is registering an alert, you could easily get a signal from the piezo speaker.

    2 - Using a basic stamp in conjunction with or instead of a smoke detector is unreliable and dangerous.

    3 - Experiment, learn, explore...yes. Use in real life, ABSOLUTLY NO!

    Good luck, have fun.

    To Wurx,

    Thanks and not using BS2 in place of a·''real"·smoke detector. Just an application that will go in a test equipment rack in an industrial environment to·detect sever equipment overheating and potential fire.
