 Programming
and Customizing the Basic Stamp Computer
$27.97
by Scott Edwards
CLASSIC GUIDE TO CUSTOMIZING BASIC STAMP FOR HOBBYISTS
AND DESIGNERSIf you want to take advantage of the popular
PIC Microcontroller for your electronics projects, but
are intimidated by the programming involved, your worries
are over. Programming and Customizing the Basic Stamp,
Second Edition gives you a comprehensive tutorial on the
easy-to-use BASIC Stamp single-board computer, which runs
a PIC Microcontroller, and doesn't require you to do any
assembly language programming. This new edition moves
you briskly from electronic foundations through BASIC
Stamp "Boot Camps" and an intelligent traffic
signal simulation to build a robotic bug with whisker
sensors, a time/temperature display, and a data-logging
thermometer. Written by Scott Edwards, the original author
of the widely read "Stamp Applications" column
for Nuts & Volts magazine, this easy-to-follow reference
includes a CD that gives you all the IBM- compatible software
tools necessary to begin developing Stamp applications.

 Basic
Stamp $34.99
by Claus Kuhnel, Klaus Zahnert
Covers both the hardware and software sides of the Parallax
BASIC Stamp 1 and 2 microprocessor operation and design.
The BASIC Stamp is built on PIC microcontroller hardware
and uses PBASIC as its programming language, which makes
it simple to use, but versatile enough to solve professional
problems. Once the hardware operations and PBASIC instruction
sets are established, applications suitable for designers
as well as home hobbyists are presented. These applications
can be used as is or can be modified.

 Microcontroller
Projects Using The Basic Stamp $31.47
by Al Williams
If you've never worked with Stamps before, you'll appreciate
the fundamentals including a description of the basic
electronics you'll need and a complete, task-oriented
command reference for the Stamp. If you have worked with
Stamps before, you'll find practical advice for PC interfacing
using serial EEPROMs and other devices, analog I/O, and
a host of projects that will help you realize your own
designs.
This second edition covers the new advances in Stamp
technology including the powerful BS2P and many more peripheral
options that expand its power. In addition, it features
several new projects including an RS232-controlled power
supply and a bridge that lets a Stamp connected to a PC
communicate via the Internet. Each chapter provides exercises
to confirm your understanding of key topics. You will
learn how to use the Stamp's:
· I/O commands to monitor and control digital signals
to build small game projects, a cable tester, and a logic
probe
· analog output capabilities to create a digitally-controlled
power supply
· analog input capabilities to build a capacitance
meter and a recording voltmeter
· built-in serial commands to assemble a data logger
that uses EEPROM to store data and a frequency counter
· I/O interface capability to build the classic
pong game for a Stamp with a limited graphics display
· robotic capabilities to drive DC motors, stepper
motors, and servo motors
The CD-ROM is packed with files and information about
the Stamp. It features a Basic Stamp emulator and a PIC
programmer based on the Basic Stamp for times when you
need the power of assembly language.

 Easy
PIC'n: A Beginners Guide to Using Pic16/17 Microcontrollers
from Square 1 $29.95
by David Benson
"Easy PIC'n" is intended to ease the beginner
toward understanding and application of the PIC line of
microcontrollers from Microchip Technology, Inc. The approach
is hands-on with many examples, all of which may be demonstrated
using a very simple demo board (a project) described at
the beginning of the book. The reader is shown step-by-step
how to write code. Examples of assembly language programs
range from a simple one to turn on LED's to more complex
ones for timing and for event-counting. Writing programs
is covered in-depth and the use of flow charts as an aid
to visualizing what a program does is emphasized. The
reader's code is used to exercise the demo board giving
tangible results.
"Easy PIC'n" provides a crawl, walk, run approach
to learning about PIC microcontrollers.
