MATLAB Support Package for Parallax BASIC Stamp 1.0

The Parallax BASIC Stamp 2 (BS2) is a low-cost single-board microcontroller useful for electronics projects. It is available as part of a "Board of Education" (BoE) kit that includes a solderless prototyping board, I/O pins and serial connectivity.This MATLAB Support Package allows you to to communicate with a BS2 over a serial port, and is specifically intended for use with the Board of Education. It consists of a MATLAB API on the host computer and a PBASIC server program that runs on the BS2. With this support package, you can: * Communicate with BS2 from the MATLAB command line * Read and write to the BS2 digital pins * Output PWM, DTMF and X10 signals * Measure pulse widths and digital state changes The support package DOES NOT require any knowledge of PBASIC.Sample usage: % create the BASIC Stamp object bs = stamp.BasicStamp('COM4'); % set the I/O state of pin 3 (0=output, 1=input) bs.setState(3, 0) % access digital state bs.writePin(3,0) % set pin 3 to 0 bs.readPin(4) % read pin 4 % get the duration of a high pulse on pin 4 bs.recvPulse(4, 1) % send a 200 microsecond high pulse on pin 3 bs.writePin(3,0) bs.sendPulse(3,200) % send a pseudo-PWM waveform with a % duty cycle of 10% and duration of 30ms bs.outputPWM(3, 0.1, 30) % clean up delete(bs)
