My Steps Towards Success...

          Project C.C.U.V 1

Phase 1     (Light bulb phase)

Dec.1, 2001 - Found a way to control light bulbs through the parallel port of PC
Dec.22, 2001 - gained control of same light bulbs using "opto-isolation relays"
Phase 2     (First programming phase)
Dec.23, 2001 - Purchased Visual Basic 5 compiler (and tinkered with it)
Dec.24, 2001 - Found the needed OCX (thanks to Leo Leporte)
Dec.29, 2001 - Just completed C.C.U.V 1
Dec.30, 2001 - Oh no, I decided to extend C.C.U.V 1 by planning to control car with steering wheel
Jan.12, 2002 - Researched and found out that I need to use Direct X... this calls for an additional phase
Phase 3    (Second Programming phase)
Jan. 13, 2002 - Picked up an old dusty book on programming Direct x 5
Jan. 26, 2002 - Completed mission of driving car with any game input device

          Project C.C.U.V 2

Phase 1    (Basic Stamp phase)

Mar. 3, 2002 - I got my Basic X 24!!  I call it the BX24
Mar. 8, 2002 - gained my foundation on using the microchip
April 11, 2002- Aaaah!! I'm late! ( can't get modem connection) read the text below
 

 

I am currently late on my project, because I can't figure out the answer to my question; How do you get a POTS 24k (or even slower) connection between a Basic stamp and a PC without using a Cermetek Micro modem? (answers go in the discussions section).

  This Phase   (Basic Stamp phase)

In this phase I need to get costumed to using this microchip I have called a Basic X 24. The Basic X 24 will be the computer inside the C.C.U.V 2 car. It will communicate with the user's computer with an on-board modem.

  Next Phase   (Cermetek phase)

In this phase, I will supply the Basic Stamp with the modem it needs to communicate with the user's computer. the communication will be tested on normal phone lines, but when the real car is finished, I'll connect a cell phone to the modem for geographical control range.
