| XBee modules provide an incredibly versatile RF communication solution for BASIC Stamp and Propeller microcontroller projects, and this kit helps you get started. Ready to use for bi-directional, point-to-point communication in their default state, XBee modules can also support complex networking with additional configuration via serial commands sent from your microcontroller, or through Digi’s free X-CTU software. (PBASIC) and Propeller (Spin) code. |

| The number one starting point for using the BASIC Stamp® 2 (either the Board of Ed (BOE) full kit, or the HomeWork Board is needed to use What's a Microcontroller? Over 40 hands-on activities with complete PBASIC 2.5 support. What's a Microcontroller? (WAM) answers the question of how to design customized, intelligent inventions using the BASIC Stamp 2. Activities using motion, light, sound and tactile feedback introduce the user to basic principles in programming, electronics, math and physics. Program circuits for light, sound and motor control. Over 40 hands-on activities including reaction timer game, potentiometer-controlled servo, 7-segment LED light meter, Nokia Cell Phone ringtone player and more. Write and download PBASIC code to a BASIC Stamp® build circuits on the breadboard and implement them with components which include: LED's, 7-Segment display, pushbuttons and a servo. |

| Basic Analog and Digital is a 162-page tutorial that covers the essentials of 8-bit A/D and D/A conversion using a BASIC Stamp module. The text introduces PBASIC commands for A/D conversion with resistor / capacitor circuits, interfacing an ADC0831 8-bit A/D converter, scaling analog outputs into meaningful digital values, analyzing time-varying signals and using PWM as analog output. These concepts are conveyed using potentiometers, LEDs, speakers, photoresistors and buttons. The text was written by Andy Lindsay of Parallax. Board of Education Full Kit (#28103) is required to use this Stamps in Class text. |
