  • BASIC Stamp I: STAMP.EXE Software Version 2.0 Firmware Version 1.4
    ® BASIC Stamp Programming Manual Version 1.8 ® This manual is valid with the following software and firmware versions: BASIC Stamp I: STAMP.EXE software version 2.0 Firmware version 1.4 BASIC Stamp II: STAMP2.EXE software version 1.1 Firmware version 1.0 Newer versions will usually work, but older versions may not. New software can be obtained for free on our BBS and Internet web and ftp site. New firmware, however, must usually be purchased in the form of a new BASIC Stamp. If you have any questions about what you may need, please contact Parallax. Introduction Thank you for purchasing a BASIC Stamp product. We’ve been making BASIC Stamp computers for years, and most customers find them useful and fun. Of course, we hope your experience with BASIC Stamps will be useful and fun, as well. If you have any questions or need technical assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact Parallax or the distributor from which you purchased your BASIC Stamps. This manual is divided into two sections. The first section deals with the BASIC Stamp I, and the second section deals with the BASIC Stamp II. The BASIC Stamp I has been around for some time, and therefore has more data in the way of application notes. If you have prior experience with BASIC Stamp I, you should consult Appendix C, for details on converting to the Basic Stamp II. PBASIC Language: the BASIC Stamps are programmed in a simple version of the BASIC language, called PBASIC. We developed PBASIC to be easy to understand, yet well-suited for the many control and monitoring applications that BASIC Stamps are used in.

  • The Elements of PBASIC Style
    599 Menlo Drive, Suite 100 General: [email protected] Rocklin, California 95765, USA Technical: [email protected] Office: (916) 624-8333 Web Site: www.parallax.com Fax: (916) 624-8003 Educational: www.stampsinclass.com The Elements of PBASIC Style Introduction Like most versions of the BASIC programming language, PBASIC is very forgiving and the compiler enforces no particular formatting style. As long as the source code is syntactically correct, it will compile and download to the BASIC Stamp without trouble. Why, then, would one suggest a specific style for PBASIC? Consider this: Over two million BASIC Stamps have been sold and there are nearly 2500 members of the BASIC Stamp mailing list (on Yahoo! Groups). This makes it highly likely that you'll be sharing your PBASIC code with someone, if not co-developing a BASIC Stamp project. Writing code in an organized, predictable manner will save you – and your potential colleagues – a lot of time; in analysis, in troubleshooting and especially when you return to a project after a long break. The style guidelines presented here are just that: guidelines. They have been developed from style guidelines used by professional programmers using other high-level languages such as Visual Basic®, C/C++, and Java™. Use these guidelines as-is, or modify them to suit your individual needs. The key is selecting a style the works well for you or your organization, and then sticking with it. PBASIC Style Guidelines 1. Do It Right the First Time Many programmers, especially new ones, fall into the "I'll knock it out now and fix it later." trap.

  • Physics 517/617 - Experiment 6B Microcomputers
    Physics 517/617 - Experiment 6B Microcomputers Since the Intel 8080 was introduced in 1974 the microprocessor has taken over our lives in many ways. They control hardware from home bread machines to automatic water faucets at airports. A modern car is estimated to have more than thirty monitoring and controlling car functions at all times. Microprocessors are circuit elements that fall between electronic hardware and software. They are computers in that they are programmed using algorithmic languages, but they are hardware in that they are installed by being wired into the system with all of the other electronic components The Basic Stamp II (BS2) is a complete microprocessor (cpu,eeprom,clock...) manufactured by Parallax. Built around the PIC16C57C processor, it is the standard microprocessor used by amateurs and professionals around the U.S.. Parallax simplified the programming by incorporating a basic interpreter in the PIC16C57C rom. The interpreter reads basic commands from an eprom on the StampII. The PIC16C57C has 14 multipurpose programmable input/output pins. The Stamp II is slow (~3000 basic commands/second) but is extremely easy to use. It is programmed through a serial port cable, which can also be used for DAQ. A user-friendly PBASIC compiler/editor/loader is freely available on the Parallax web site. 1) Digital Output: How to get started. An interactive tutorial on your computer (or if you are at home you can install it from the CDROM provided. On the desktop, click on the basic stamp folder. Then click on BS2_Tutorial. You should do the exercises in 3: BASIC Stamp Editor, and 4: Input, Processing, and Output (Here skip the sections on Analog Input: RCTIME and Frequency Output: FREQOUT.
