Homecontrol using the basic stamp - Web or iPod controlled
In this article we are programming the basic stamp to trigger a remote switch for your home lights or any other power switching device, like a garage door, fireplace and so on. We are controlling it through the web or the ipod (the ipod also has a web browser)
How does it work?
After programming the basic stamp, it looks for a specific variable; when it receives this variable we are putting a current on the output pin of the basic stamp. The current switches a relay, this closes the electronic circuit of the remote “klikaan klikuit” transceiver. The variable, where it all starts with, is send through the serial / usb port by a single web page.
