The Basic Stamp

• Introduced them in 1992. • As of July 2000, > 200,000 BASIC Stamp

modules into use. • Each BASIC Stamp includes:

– a BASIC Interpreter chip– internal memory (RAM and EEPROM)– a 5-volt regulator– 16 general-purpose I/O pins (TTL-level, 0-5 volts)– built-in commands for math and I/O pin operations.– 5 models: BS1, BS2, BS2e, BS2sx & BS2p.

BASIC Stamp I

• The original Basic Stamp• 8 i/o pins• 16 bytes of RAM• 256 bytes of program storage• Fewer programming functions• 2000 PBASIC statements/sec • 2 ma running power requirement• Parallel port interface

BASIC Stamp II

• Specifications– 4000 BASIC Statements per second– 16 Digital I/O pins

• Source 20 mA, Sink 25 mA

– Special purpose control routines– 5v power supply (50 mA)– Low power (8 mA, sleep at 0.1mA)– RS232 serial programming interface– 2k bytes program token storage

Basic Stamp 2 IC

Other BS2

• BS2e: – 64 bytes scratch pad RAM– 30 mA i/o pin current

• BS2sx:– 39 PBASIC Commands – 10,000 instructions/sec

• BS2p24: – 12,000 instructions/sec– 55 PBASIC Commands

• BSp40, BS2pe - more features
