Microcontroller Projects Using the Basic Stamp
Al William

This text shows the principles and processes of micro-controller development by demonstrating how to program the Basic Stamp. It serves the needs of those desiring to learn the principles and processes of micro-controller development.
This new edition has been updated with information relevant to the newest Basic Stamp, the BS2P, and revised to present more advanced projects.
The result is a superb hands-on teaching text with dozens of completely new projects in addition to enhanced projects that take advantage of the latest features of the BS2P.
Each chapter introduces a new concept through a simple project and then, through several enhancements, shows how to build better and better solutions. Readers get complete and detailed instructions for building their own test instruments, robot motor controls, Morse code keyers, infrared remote controls, Internet to Stamp gateways, and many more projects.
Throughout the book, the author explains and teaches - always with the same clarity and thoroughness that has made him a favourite both on the Web and in enthusiast and professional magazines.

   

Programming and Customizing the Basic Stamp
Scott Edwards


Synopsis
If you want to take advantage of the popular PIC Micro-controller for your electronics projects, but are intimidated by the programming involved, your worries are over. This guide gives you a comprehensive tutorial on the easy to use BASIC Stamp single-board computer, which runs a PIC Micro-controller, and doesn't require you to do any assembly language programming. Written by the original author of the widely read "Stamp Applications" column for Nuts & Volts magazine, Programming and Customizing the BASIC Stamp Computer has already established itself as a classic reference for hobbyists and designers alike.

From the Back Cover
Build smart electronics projects with the inexpensive, simple-to-use, surprisingly powerful BASIC Stamp. Includes Scott Edwards' original "Stamp Applications" columns from Nuts & Volts magazine!
