Features
BASIC Stamps are microcontrollers with the operating system built in. They are actually small hybrid DIP (dual inline package) chips that run BASIC programs. They have 16 I/O lines, which can be connected directly to push buttons, LEDs, speakers, potentiometers, shift registers, and a host of other TTL-level devices. With a couple of extra components, they can be connected to non-TTL level devices, such as solenoids, relays, and RS-232 networks. BASIC Stamps are used in educational institutions, industrial applications, and hobbyist projects. BASIC Stamps execute up to 10,000 interpreted PBASIC instructions per second.
The BASIC Stamp consists of a PBASIC interpreter, a non-volatile EEPROM, a resonator, and a 5-volt regulator. When 5-15 volts are applied, the interpreter reads and executes the PBASIC instructions from the EEPROM.
BASIC Stamp development time is minimal, sometimes only minutes. Coding is easy using PBASIC's familiar instructions, such as FOR . . .NEXT, IF . . THEN, and GOTO and commands for program structuring. The real excitement lies with the hardware-oriented I/O instructions for the following.
BASIC Stamps are programmed by connecting them to an IBM PC or compatible, and using the appropriate editor software in DOS or Windows. No programming tools are required other than a socket, a carrier board for example, and a cable.
- Reading and writing to I/O pins
- Measuring and generating pulses
- Reading pushbuttons (with debounce)
- Shifting data to / from shift registers
- Counting cycles on a pin
- Sending X-10 powerline signals
- Generating PWM
- Reading potentiometers
- Generating sine waves and DTMF tones
