This page will cover Basic Stamp projects. Some of the projects which will be described are listed below:
1. General Purpose Controller board using Basic Stamp 1.
A simple controller board with relays and a MOSFET for motor speed control. This board is easily constructed using salvaged parts, and provides the basis for the following circuits.
2. Using IR sensor modules from old VCR's & TV Remote Control units with the Basic Stamp 1.
How to salvage IR sensors from old VCR's and connect them to the Stamp.
A Universal Remote can be used with these sensors to provide remote control input to the Stamp. Or use a simple 555 timer and IR LED to provide the input signal to the IR sensor.
3. Motor control with the General Purpose Controller board.
Using the PWM command and a MOSFET to control motor speed. This is great for Lego motor control.
4. Linking the Basic Stamp 1 to a PC and X10 modules.
Using the IR sensor and Universal Remote to construct a security sensor to trigger X10 modules. The Stamp sends a serial command to a PC which can control X10 modules. The PC software to control X10 modules is provided.
