Looking for projects which use JStamp

Sep 28, 2004 4 Replies

Hey All--



I'm evaluating the JStamp for use in a course here at my university. I will be running through the course projects (lighting LEDs, debouncing/demultiplexing keypad input, operating motors and servos, etc.) on a JStamp, but I'd also like to see some other examples of a JStamp in action, particularly those that highlight the increased productivity achieved by using Java for complex projects.



Can anybody point me towards projects which show of the power of using a JStamp versus a 6811, AVR, etc?



Thanks!



Mark


Try contacting D. Jay Newman .He uses them and wrote an article in the latest servo mag on hacking a rc tank to use one as a controller

Thanks. However, I haven't used one in a while due to family problems. I haven't had the time.

I did have an article in the May issue of Circuit Cellar and the August issue of SERVO about the JStik.

I think that the JStamp's main advantage over the other chips in its price range is the large memory.

Also, I *really* like Java. :)

On the other hand, most other microcontrollers have perhipherals like ADCs and such.

Hi Jay,

I've only started playing around with my JStamp. But I did notice that it seems there is no ADC. What about PWM? The output pins apparently can only be switched at 1ms resolution.

Another problem I've been facing: my professor is considering using the JSDS as a platform to teach students about microcontrollers. We've been using the Technological Art's Adapt11C24DX, which has a 50-pin header which plugs directly into a solderless breadboard. With the JSDS, I'm not sure how to breakout the I/O pins to a breadboard. By using the 50x2 header? Or just connecting individual I/O pins straight off the board with jumper pins?

Thanks, Mark

Look at the port E pins and the PianoRoll object. I haven't done this, but there are timers and such that can be used easy.

I've never tried to use a JSDS. Actually I don't even know what it is.

You can use the JStamp on a solderless breadboard, but you'll need to build a cable to connect to the JTag interface.
