Having problems with message search?
Hi Gick2002,
Just out of curiosity, how much memory has you basic stamp got? as if your going to program the gba with something to show output in text on GBA, cos for starters, your gonna need a font, and they don't come cheap memory wise, gba's smallest font bpp is 4, so your gonna have to have code to convert 1bit bitmap font to 4bit, and code it to read data from stamp, not to mention the stamps own code to store the gba code and send it to gba, and finally your code for the project to create the data and send to gba :) unless your putting all that on an external eeprom to the stamp? :)
Also sorry that I don't have info on MBV2 cable, but I do know you'll need a bit more storage space than a basic stamp, correct me if i'm wrong here, as I've not long started using pics myself :)
Either way, good luck with it.

have it display the results on the GBA as basic text. I don't know if I
can use the output of the stamp to program the GBA using multi-boot
system. I would like to be able to transfer the program without using a
flash linker module to load a communication program. The stamp gives me
full control over the method of the serial communication so I believe
they can communicate. I need to find out the specifics of the protocol
used without having to reverse engineer the MBV2 cable and software. To
sum up, every time I supply power to the GBA and Stamp I want the stamp
to load the program into the GBA using the serial interface and display
my data. I have the HAM compiler so I'm able to test the program in the
emulator. Does anybody know if this can be done or another simple
method that will produce similar results?
