Using the Basic Stamp Microcontroller

The Basic Stamp microcontroller allows you to write a program in a simple language on a PC and quickly download it and run it in target hardware.

The hardware configuration provided at NU is decribed on a web page Basic Stamp Hardware

You will need to download software, manuals, and tutorials from Parallax.

Software for editing and downloading an running program is on the Parallax download page

The user manual is available there too, but here is a local copy to which I have added comments

Below is a screenshot of the editor window, showing a program I write for the BS2px24 that counts in binary on 4 LEDs.
