Has anyone had luck connecting the Amulet 5.7 to a PIC 876 without using a serial converter chip? (Like a MAX 232, etc.) I am designing a board with very...
The breadth of knowledge on this mailing list never ceases to amaze me, so I am going to throw one out that might be a little off topic. Here is what I need to...
just a general question, I don't have a particular model in mind. On another note I noticed that Mouser has nil stock of deveopment kits STK-GT570 - any...
Art, The 5.7" Starter Kit is on back order. Orders have been brisk and we have been late shipping product to Mouser. We are waiting for some parts from some...
When will the bezel kit be available? How much in small(<5) Qty. What is the material? Is it designed to mechanically support the LCD or is it just cosmetic?...
I've started using the slave mode of the Amulet. It is MUCH more reliable and easier to program than the master mode (at least for me, it is). I have a couple...
Allen, We just recieved the bezels. We are waiting for the gasket from the supplier. We hope to recieve the gaskets early next week. We will then ship the...
I'm doing some initial testing on my Amulet 5.7 kit with a Basic Stamp 2, which only supports 9600 bps serial connections. I have the new compiler 2.2x build...
Bradley, I was going to ask you what processor you were using on your side, but I see based upon your next posting is that you are using a Basic Stamp 2. That...
Bradley, What do you mean when you say that enabling your code to poll one or both of the buttons causes garbage to go across the serial line? 1) What do you...
I'm sure this is an easy question, but I'm a little stumped. I want to have two buttons on my Amulet for forward and back. I'm using the Function Button and...
Jon-Paul, Yes, this is an easy question, but one we should better document. Sorry about that. Due to the fact that HTML requires the "<" and ">" characters in...
Ed, Right now, I'm just getting to know both the Basic Stamp and Amulet. I have two eventual projects. The first is to create electronic instrumentation for...
Jim, Thanks for the quick reply. I am running the beta build 7. I tried putting in the escape codes, but my function button still displays 'true'. Here's my...
Alex, In the Build 7 version, I only supported InternalRAM.word(x) as a data value. After thinking about it, I have subsequently changed it so your syntax...
Jim, Thanks. So, if I think that this is working and continue, when can I expect the proper build? What I'm doing is incrementing/decrementing word(0) by , 10,...
Status update on this item: I just installed a BS2P instead of the BS2 and all seven widgets now work properly at 9600 BPS. I've ordered a MAX232A, and I'm...
I'm trying to set up a numeric field right next to a bar graph to show temperatures. I have two of each on a given line, with dimensions of bargraph=100...
Hi All, Has anyone solved this problem? I'm trying to build a string on the Amulet keyboard example and send it out the UART when the ENTER key is pressed. ...
I have set up a numeric field wich receives a trmperature from a basic stamp ranging from 0 to 150. I need to be able to input a specific value using the...
Jim, What is the current timeframe for this upgrade? Thanks, Lance means of turning on and off the backlight via software. That new board should be available...
Lance, We just recently sent a shipment to our main distributor Mouser Electronics. That will be the last batch of the "old" boards. As soon as Mouser runs out...
Lance, Well, I know what the problem is. This is something that I need to address somewhere in the documentation, but I haven't taken the time yet to craft an...
You will have to do some of the work on your side. The value that you specify on your keyboard will have to be sent to your Basic Stamp. You will then need to...
Thank you for your reply. Which microcontroller you recommend? ... From: Jim Weber To: Amulet@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 08:55 PM Subject:...
