Boe Bot Control

[SuperComputer]

I am attempting to control a Boe-Bot from Parallax inc. wirelessly.  More specifically, I would like to create an interface between LabVIEW and basic stamp 2 that will control the Boe-Bot using Bluetooth wireless technology.  I would like to know if there are any sub vi's or macros developed specifically for the communication between LabVIEW and basic stamp 2.  If not, how would I go about developing an interface in which I can communicate between LabVIEW and basic stamp 2 wirelessly in real-time?  Also, as far as the wireless component is concerned I am having trouble maintaining command mode for the bluetooth materials that I have; the DBT-120 and the eb500.  The device seems to continually switch to data mode when I would like to maintain command mode so I can control my robot's path in real-time.  Any suggestions would be helpful!

I have no experience programming LabVIEW with a Boe-Bot or any other Parallax products, but I did notice that Parallax has a Basic Stamp example for LabVIEW 7.0 on their website. Also, LabVIEW has its own Bluetooth VIs that you can use for the wirelesss communication. Best of luck on the application, and if you are able to build a working driver, please post it so that the community can benefit!

Also on Parallax's website is an article on LabVIEW and Basic Stamp 2 that might be of interest.
