Well, this is the value of the Stamp. Parallax has done all the crufty hacking with getting a Development System, small Operating System, Compiler, EEPROM...
The DS1302 is a $5.00 part! (OK, $6.00 with crystal). Plus it handles the 3-wire 'SPI' protocol, minimizing pin use on the Stamp. Do you really want to go...
Warming the LCD should not be a problem if you have enought power to do so. Here in New Jersey, we get cold, about 10deg F above zero, but not much less...
Hi all, I want to charge a cap then discharge it in a very fast time frame. I'm looking at using photo flash unit caps (pulled from those cheap disposable...
The equipment I used to support was designed for outdoor use with an extended-temperature LCD. One engineer used a special heater that warmed the inside of the...
You can get into AVR's cheaper, and there are even Basic compilers available for free or a small fee, but you still have to build up some support circuitry and...
Another thing that works really well for cold temps and is one of the most inexpensive items one can buy is a Styrofoam cooler. I used one of these with some ...

I just wrote about this subject in my May Nuts & Volts column. Here's the short version: 1. Read the docs -- Parallax has A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION 2. Solve a...
I have found "Programming and Customizing the Basic Stamp Computer" by Scott Edwards to be the best of the three or four books I've bought so far. I mainly...
I have 5 of these and they work great with my BS2p40. The backlight current is set with resistors R11-R13 and are populated with 4.7 ohm, 1206 resistors. If...
One other useful resource to add: http://www.wd5gnr.com/stampfaq.htm - This is my unofficial Stamp FAQ -- many on the list have contributed to it. I guess we...
A while back, I got some flexible little heating elements from Electronic Goldmine. They are like thick tape, and they came in a pack of different sizes. They...

I am building an ignition system for a 2 cylinder two stroke engine. It is a MOSFET triggered coil, and I am using two optical sensors to fire the MOSFETs, one...

Yep, I'm using AVRs in my current project. Definately NOT for (total) newb's or the faint of heart. Had to make my own buffered programming cable and add my...

Hi everyone, I have a BS2p and and three 1-Wire sensors (humidity, temperature and rain). The BS2p and sensors are about 30 feet from each other on cat 5E ...
I've been coming up with plans to let a bs2p access a parallel 32K SRAM chip but none of them seem feasible. Does anyone have a schematic or at least an idea...
Hi Bill: Had the exact problem when doing a network of 16 DS1820's on 300' of cable. A lot has to do with the way you tap off the cat 5 backbone cable and the ...
Someone could write a book on methods to clean up signals. Oh wait, 32,768 people already did! Seriously though, you haven't told us much about your circuit so...
