Kat, Hope I'm not intruding -- as I see it the only reason to use a Stamp is for rapid turn of small control function applications where execution speed is not an issue by those folks who aren't necessarily skilled at programming micros. As a mid-range recommendation: for maximum flexibility per buck get a PICStart programmer and one of the several (less expensive) HLL compliers for the PIC parts. BTW: Atmel's version of the 8051 flash parts are also easy to code/implement, plus, the programmers are dirt cheap and freely available on the net. Sorry to hear of your Parallax troubles -- they used to source such great stuff. :( -Roger Kat wrote: > > > On 19 Oct 2001, at 16:04, euman at bellsouth.net wrote: > > > > > try http://www.electrobase.com/ > > Didn't help. > > I called Parallax, talked to the tech support.
