    Code

    We decided to use an ADS7818 12-Bit ADC for our receiving antenna.  Below are some codes for it, again in basic stamp format.  You should be able to open these using notepad.  The ADS7818 12-Bit ADC.bs2 file is simply a read for the ADC.  The output is to the debug screen.  The ADS7818 Radio Receiver.bs2 is a program for looking at the ADC output on EXCEL, provided the free software.  StampDAQ has been download from parallax.com and installed.  The New_Transmitter is the code for the sending antenna.  It will be running constantly for the receiving antennas to  lock in on.  The EXCEL file shows how the received signal strength varies as the antenna is rotated.  BS2 Code 12 bit read is the basic stamp (BS2) code for doing a 12-bit read of the antenna anlog output.
