Description:
The FlexiPanel Module allows the BASIC Stamp 2 module ( BS2, BS2e, BS2sx, BS2p24, BS2p40, BS2pe ) to create an operator interface on remote devices such as a Pocket PC and other computers via a Bluetooth link. The key to FlexiPanel technology is the standardized communication link (patents pending). The FlexiPanel software on remote device is free and does not need to be customized for your device. FlexiPanel modules, processors and licenses allow electronic devices to communicate with the all remote devices running FlexiPanel software. The FlexiPanel Module manages the user interface features for you.
The FlexiPanel module acts like a memory device which stores all the controls that appear on the remote FlexiPanel operator interface. The BASIC Stamp 2 module of your choice (the host controller) communicates via TTL-level serial and can read or write values as desired. If a remote device comes in range, the FlexiPanel module transmits the control information to it and the controls are displayed. If the controls are modifiable, the user may make adjustments and transmit these back to the FlexiPanel module.
The FlexiPanel is manufactured and designed by FlexiPanel Ltd. ( http://www.flexipanel.com/BasicStamp/index.htm ) of Paris, France. For applications of 1,000 or more units, please contact FlexiPanel Ltd. to learn about reducing your costs. Parallax is proud to be the worldwide exclusive distributor of the FlexiPanel module (BASIC Stamp version).
Parallax was closely involved in the design process and was able to specify features making for the ultimate interface with the BASIC Stamp microcontroller. Requires a BASIC Stamp 2 module (sold separately).
Note: Due to the advanced nature of the software and documentation, it is only available from the FlexiPanel web site at the link below.
Because Windows XP requires a Pass key for a Bluetooth connection, it is not advisable to use the FlexiPanel device with a PC running Windows XP.
