Is there a piece of hardware for sale any where which connects your computer and your boe-bot with radio waves? So you don't have to use an extension cord for your boe-bot when it is moving around, but also sending information back to the computer?

Also, how do you use REALLY simple graphics and sprites in BASIC stamp? Like when the robot is on a running icon appears on the debug screen?

thanks

    Another example would be clicking on a button, and the Boe-Bot executes a command.

    As to a radio "remote control", Parallax sells a variety of RF products (http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/products/communication/rf_modules.asp) These are very good, high quality products. You may also be interested in a very inexpensive solution... check out this discussion thread... http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=21&m=89386

    Hello,

    ·· You don't need graphics and sprites for the BASIC Stamp.· What you need is to program the PC to do this stuff.· You can send/receive serial data with the BASIC Stamp over many of the wireless devices we carry, including Bluetooth.· Your PC program will have to handle sending data out, receiving data and drawing these graphics.

    Parallax has the hardware. [noparse][[/noparse]there are several formats of 'radio control']

    And the know-how.
    All you need is the discipline and effort to program it. That is why they try to support learning via DIY.
