Past Projects | Altimeter Project NEW - Making a altimeter using the Basic Stamp II. I finally got my Basic Stamp Pocket Altimeter done. My first version of my altimeter used a linear equation , which i found is not really accurate at all. So i got a PAK II math co- processor to calculate the altitude. Although the PAK II worked like a charm in my old bulky altimeter, I wanted to make one that was pocket size and the PAK II was just too big. In pocket altimeter I overcame the Stamp's lack of math capabilties by using a method known as linearization to do the calculations. EEPROM Project - Many projects require the use of an external EEPROM to store data. This project will give you all the details on how to interface the Basic Stamp II with a 64K SPI Bus Serial EEPROM. Great for those datalogging applications RF Remote Control Project - Making a RF radio link to control things remotely using the the Basic Stamp II and Ming RF modules. It can remotely control up to 16 different relays from up to 300 feet away. The relays could control anything from a tv to a motor. For my application i used this system to remotely start the engine of my truck. Im tried of getting up in the mourning and have to go to school in a frezzing cold truck. Homebrewed Stamp My homebrewed stamp. I ordered it from Peter Anderson, he supplies all the components neccessary to build it, but no pcb board. I got a friend of mine to make me a pcb board for it, then i just solder everything on. You can just use a breadboard instead of a pcb board, but the pcb board make a nice job of it. It is nice because all the IC's are in sockets, so if you want to write to the EEPROM thousand times a day, you can, just replace it when its life it up. Its a great product, if you want to find more info on the Homebrewed stamp go over to my links section and look for Peter Anderson's website. Visual Basic 5 Projects Here you will find my various Visual Basic Projects I have done. There is only one project up at the moment, but i hope to add more soon. The project is on how to control a relay with your PC. There is a unlimited number of possiblitlies you could do with this, turn on lights, TV, motors, etc. Keypad Project - Interfacing a 4X4 keypad to a BSII using a 74922 encoder chip. This is a great project for data entery, security keylocks, and much more. Only uses 5 I/O pins on the Stamp. MAX186 ADC Project - Interfacing the MAX186 8 Channel ADC to the BSII to measure analog voltages. Very useful considering most sensor out today puts out a voltage. The MAX186 can measure up to 8 different voltages and only takes 3 I/0 pins. MAX187 ADC Project - Interfacing the MAX187 12 bit ADC to the BSII or BS1 to measure analog voltages. The MAX187 requires an SPI interface(3 I/O's) to communicate with the stamp, and only requires a few external components. |
