In early February, Parallax introduced Stamp Plot freeware for graphical presentation on the PC monitor (the program is actually tucked away in "Stamps In Class", a non-freeware pro version is supposedly on its way) - all the dlls necessary to talk with the PC etc. on a 'scope like screen. I can think of about a dozen aps with the 8 adc ports on the BX24 (bye-bye pen-plotter!) Of course, it's possible to do it in VB or QBasic interfacing the parallel or serial port to the BX24, but if I wanted to do things the "hard way" I would be programming PIC's! I would like to see the same type of program for the BX-24.

I haven't seen any of the Stamp stuff and maybe it already does this but it would be cool to build the BX downloader into a DLL so that a VB program could invoke the 'scope DLL, which invokes the downloader and provides the BX program to it. The downloader programs the BX and starts it. That would let VB users avoid the BX side of things completely, and BX program upgrades would be as simple as getting a new DLL from a website. -----Original Message----- From: Schatzie Walton [mailto:] Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2000 10:53 AM To: Subject: [BasicX] Things I would like to see - Plotter From: "Schatzie Walton" <> In early February, Parallax introduced Stamp Plot freeware for graphical presentation on the PC monitor (the program is actually tucked away in "Stamps In Class", a non-freeware pro version is supposedly on its way) - all the dlls necessary to talk with the PC etc. on a 'scope like screen.

Hi all, I just found out about the BX24 and I'm hoping to get my hands on one soon. I am the programmer for the plot program mentioned. We are developing some curriculum for Parallax and a good analog/digital plotting program was needed for it. I'd like to see what I have written of the Pro version is compatible with the BX. It'll have a lot of good features for saving, recalling, snapshots, etc. Hopefully, I'll have my hands on a BX24 soon, and I'm dying to try out the controller! -Martin Hebel http://www.selmaware.com --- In , "Schatzie Walton" <jdwalton@h...> wrote: > In early February, Parallax introduced Stamp Plot freeware for > graphical presentation on the PC monitor (the program is actually > tucked away in "Stamps In Class", a non-freeware pro version is > supposedly on its way) - all the dlls necessary to talk with the PC > etc. on a 'scope like screen.
