Hello, i was just wondering if a program that will allow me to send code to a BS2 exists for the Palm OS.
Im sure someone has thought of that already. smilewinkgrin.gif

P.S. - i already have the cable for the Palm that has a serial connector on the end.· it plugs right up to the BS2 carrier board.

    The specifications for transmitting a compiled BASIC Stamp file is available on our web site. I know of one person (but can't remember his/her name) who has used this information to create a downloader for WinCE devices. Keep in mind that the compilation will still have to take place under Windows, Mac, or Linux as there are no compilers for other operating systems.

    Ok, thanks for the info. I'm getting a bunch of ideas, but i just need to sort through them right now to determine the logical ones... In the next week or so, i'm going to try and see what i can develop. I'll keep you posted.
    Thanks

    Just one thing....

    You'll need a 'null-modem' adapter to connect to that carrier board as the Palm lead is made to connect to a PC, not other 'peripherals'.

    Unless the lead is a 'modem-lead', that is.

    Thanks for that bit of info... I actually did not think about that. But looking at it now, its obvious i need an adapter.
    Once again, Thanks
