hi guys , i am new in this group , but not in microcontrollers projects. I have and old bs2 proto board ( basic stamp 2) and i wonder i am able to reuse for...
I have a wheel encoder that I need to watch. Is their a way to have basicx run some code when a pin goes high? Right now I go into a loop and check the pin...
thanks a lot , tom Just another question , I need (with bx24) implement some circuit to light a bulb ( 5v - 4oms) , but slowly. for example, from 1v to 5v in a...
... I'd suggest PWM from BX-24 pin 26 or 27, through a transistor switch to handle the bulb current. You'll find application note "Programming Timer1 for Dual...
I read some bx24 documents and read about how to connect a servo motor ..there are two bx24 pins for GROUND .one of the wire of servo needs to connect to...
... The two BX-24 grounds should be connected together along with all of the other grounds in your system. Except in certain special situations where...
I have a Rocket altimeter that uses a bx-24 for the processor. You can see the unit here http://accelorocket.tripod.com/ . There was a software update and...
Apparently this is a common problem with SOME BX-24 "systems". I say "some", because the vast majority of applications do not experience this error. I say...
Thank you all for your replys. I knew it must've been done before because I found some old messages (with no source code or useful information of any kind I...
Oh nevermind about the pin nums, I was looking at the first one which didn't appear to have any constants. Could you explain how the sub works and how it...
... Certainly, but with some complexity. Interfacing the transistor to the BX-24 will require some handling of the PutDAC output, which is not continuous and...
We have just received a LCDX display module and would like to be able to program the Basic X-24 processor to allow serial data to flow in on com 1 at 9600 baud...
... Victor Fraenckel deserves the credit. I just hacked what he had. Here is the original post: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/basicx/message/3086 His code...
Has anyone tried this and gotten it to work? basicly it's using com1 of the Bx24 to talk to the siteplayer through the serial line (pin 7 & 8). I can make this...
... com1 ... 7 & ... Hello I am at the time beeing doing som experiments with the BX24/Siteplayer combo. I do not have anything finished yet, but I do have a...
See here what i'm working with: Option Explicit Const InBufSize_1 As Integer = 20 Const OutBufSize_1 As Integer = 30 Dim InBuf_1(1 To InBufSize_1) As Byte Dim...
Don, This project is in support of a USDA research project. Basically, we have two pieces of equipment that supply serial strings; one instrument is a GPS...
I am working an a project that needs a one shot output even though the input is still "high". For example: at start, +5 volts appears on input pin 5. I want...
... To answer your question - is doesn't matter. A BasicX task is defined as two pieces: 1. A task stack - this should be at least 30 bytes and probably it...
... Steve, If you trying to monitor pin 5 and then flip pin 20 up/down everytime pin 5 goes high then probably your best bet is to write a small task that...
I can think of two options: Option 1 What if you connected the input to your interrupt pin (interrupt @ rising edge) to initiate a small task that put pin 20...
... run... Unless one has stopped Timer0, disabled interrupts or locked the task, task switching is automatic at the next 512Hz timer tick. You do not need to...
I am trying to read a +5 volt lamp. When the lamp is active the lamp stays on. I need pin 20 output to "fire" off low Z, (to start another device)and then have...
Tom, What you said is correct but if your task is polling, I am suggesting that you allow co-operative task switches by calling Delay(0.0) as it suggests in...
... Yes, if you want to surrender the remainder of a time slice to other tasks, you can, but control will be taken from the task (normally within two...
