If you want to take advantage of the popular PIC Microcontroller for your electronics projects, but are
intimidated by the programming involved, your worries are over. The second
edition Programming and Customizing the Basic
Stamp book gives you a comprehensive tutorial on the easy-to-use BASIC Stamp single-board
computer, which runs a PIC Microcontroller, and doesn't require you to do any assembly language
programming. This new edition moves you briskly from electronic foundations through BASIC Stamp "Boot Camps" and an
intelligent traffic signal simulation to build a robotic bug with whisker sensors, a time/temperature
display, and a data-logging thermometer. Written by Scott Edwards, the original author of the widely read
"Stamp Applications" column for Nuts & Volts magazine, this easy-to-follow reference includes a CD that gives
you all the IBM- compatible software tools necessary to begin developing Stamp applications
Stampworks is a collection of 32 experiments that will teach you first class BASIC Stamp programming. This
is made easy by the inclusion of a BASIC Stamp II reference manual as an appendix. With StampWorks, you'll
learn to get the most out of the BASIC Stamp and to increase its versatility by connecting to popular
active and passive components. This text takes you beyond theory to help you do everything you always
wanted to do with your BASIC Stamp.

Microcontroller Projects Using The Basic Stamp (2nd Edition)
This second edition covers the new advances in Stamp
technology including the powerful BS2P and many more peripheral options that
expand its power. In addition, it features several new projects including an
RS232-controlled power supply and a bridge that lets a Stamp connected to a PC
communicate via the Internet. Each chapter provides exercises to confirm your
understanding of key topics. You will learn how to use the Stamp's: I/O commands
to monitor and control digital signals to build small game projects, a cable
tester, and a logic probe; analog output capabilities to create a
digitally-controlled power supply analog input capabilities to build a
capacitance meter and a recording voltmeter; built-in serial commands to
assemble a data logger that uses EEPROM to store data and a frequency counter;
I/O interface capability to build the classic pong game for a Stamp with a
limited graphics display; robotic capabilities to drive DC motors, stepper
motors, and servo motors.
The CD-ROM is packed with files and information about the Stamp. It features a
Basic Stamp emulator and a PIC programmer based on the Basic Stamp for times
when you need the power of assembly language.
Addresses the technologies and methods used in connecting analog input and
output devices to digital microprocessors for embedded applications. The author
focuses on measurement and control of analog quantities in embedded systems that
are required to interface with the real world, and provides practical control
applications and opamp examples.
The Microcontroller Application Cookbook is the beginner's
sourcebook for "real-world" machine control. It features over 100 schematics and
code samples based on the popular BASIC Stamp2 Microcontroller
Volume Two contains all new schematics, code and applications
information. It's the second Volume in the popular "Cookbook" series that
features the BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller.
The MicroController Application Cookbook Vol.2 with board
Included with the popular Microcontroller Application
Cookbook, Vol. 2, is the new "Homework Board" (by Parallax). The Homework Board
includes a fully functional BASIC Stamp 2 embedded on a printed circuit board,
along with a breadboard prototyping area..
You'll need to provide your own DB-9 serial cable (for connecting to your PC's
serial port), 9 volt battery, and download the *free* editor software from
Parallax's website. The Homework Board is perfect for building many of the
circuits contained in both volumes of the Microcontroller Application Cookbook
series.
The MicroController Application Cookbook Vol1 & Vol2. SET
The popular Microcontroller Application Cookbook "Volume 1" as
well as "Volume 2" are included in this two volume set. Each book is based on
the BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller, and includes complete schematic diagrams as
well as code samples to help you create working circuits fast.
