BASIC Stamp Modules
The BASIC Stamps are available in a number of different package types:
PC Board -- The original "Version D" is a complete PC board with prototype area and battery clips. |
Surface Mount -- The newer "BS1-IC" and "BS2-IC" are 14- and 24-pin modules utilizing surface mount components to provide the smallest package possible. These modular BASIC Stamps have corresponding "carrier boards" which provide the usual prototype area and battery clips, if necessary. Schematics of these modules are available in .gif format. |
Chip -- The PBASIC interpreter chips may be purchased separately and integrated directly into production products. Additionally, the BASIC Stamp I editor now includes the ability to program a PIC16C58 with your PBASIC code! |
The table below shows the complete package types available, as well as a comparison between the BASIC Stamp I and BASIC Stamp II.
