Hi, after reading through the forums and some of the tutorial as well as the e-book, i have only managed to find sample codes of connecting basic4ppc to basic stamp. However i do not know to code it my own way, e.g. i have a basic stamp module, and complied a .exe withe basic4ppc desktop IDE, the exe i made was with 4 buttons, when i press 1 , i want the basic stamp module to recieve and say, on a led. But i do not know how to connect the 2. any guidance please? sorry for the bad english.

Hi,
I have a board of education kit + easy bluetooth module.
I am using Basic4ppc + Bluetooth dongle on the com.
Now, i compile my code like this.
Basic Stamp:
RX PIN 2 ' RX of the Easy Bluetooth
TX PIN 0 ' TX of the Easy Bluetooth
Baud CON 84 ' Baud set at 9600
Sig_IN VAR Byte ' variable, input from user
valdata VAR Byte
DIRA = %1111
OUTA=%1111 'all off initial
Main:
DO
SERIN RX, Baud, [Sig_IN] ' receive input from user
LOOKDOWN Sig_IN,[65,66],valdata
BRANCH valdata,[c1,c2]
GOTO jumpend
c1:
'Character A was received.
OUT1=0
GOTO jumpend
c2:
'Character B was received.
OUT1=1
GOTO jumpend
jumpend:
LOOP
END
Basic4ppc: (complied with serial2.dll)
Sub Globals
End Sub
Sub App_Start
Form1.show
Serial.New2 (7,9600,"N",8,1) 'com port 7, baud 9600
Serial.PortOpen=True
Serial.EnableOnComm=True
End Sub
Sub serial_OnCom
TextBox1.Text=TextBox1.Text & Serial.Inputstring
End Sub
Sub Button1_Click
Serial.Output ("A")
textBox1.Text= "A"
End Sub
Sub Button2_Click
Serial.Output ("B")
textBox1.Text="B"
End Sub

A quick search in the forum for "setupbuilder" yielded this thread: http://www.b4x.com/forum/official-updates/1416-setupbuilder-files.html#post7860
But I know nothing about packaging for a phone.
