ELECTRONICS ON-LINE

Do more with your

Hundreds of applications from L.O.S.A.

After last month’s ﬁnal instalment of the BASIC Stamp enthused programmers may

want to do more with their mini controller systems. If you know wheer to look,

the Internet is a vast resource of courses and application lists to suit every

requirement.

Conﬁdent with your own constructions on the

BASIC stamp prototyping board and the

associated robot, you may want to consider

widening your horizon. Most active followers

of our course, we are sure, will have come to

appreciate the simplicity of programming the

BASIC Stamp II module No wonder they may

have future applications in mind. The good

news is obviously that venturing out in this

fascinating area is relatively easy for every

with Internet access.

To begin with, the manufacturer, Parallax,

has extensive technical data on the Stamp

available on a web site at

http://www.parallaxinc.com

Most relevant documents are available as

Acrobat pdf files for easy downloading and

browsing or printing.

Of course Parallax on their BASIC Stamp

site have not forgotten to include an overview

of all courses and additional information on

the Stamp, see

http://www.stampsinclass.com

At first blush, the purpose of this site is to

spread the various courses on colleges. How-

ever, many lessons are equally of interest to

hobbyists because they contain valuable

information and allow your knowledge of

microprocessor programming to be given a

serious boost. Stampsinclass provides these

complete courses:

- What’s a microcontroller?

- Earth measurements experiments

- Robotics experiments

- Basic analog and digital experiments

What’s more the site also offers the complete

Parallax documentation and software for the

Stamp series.

If you are keen on applying the

Stamp in many different situations

then do not forget to pop in at

L.O.S.A. (List of Stamp Applications):

This list is maintained by High Tech

Horizon, the Swedish Parallax dis-

tributor. Currently it contains some

180 BASIC Stamp applications, each

consisting of a short description,

name and e-mail address of the

author, plus, in many cases, a pro-

gram listing with the design. Any-

one is free and invited to contribute

to this list!

Our last tip this month is the

American magazine Nuts&Volts

which frequently contains Stamp-

based circuits. Most of these designs

are available on the website run by

this magazine:

The are articles may be downloaded

free of charge and come as pdf doc-

uments.
