The BASIC Stamp is a microcontroller with a small, specialized BASIC interpreter (PBASIC) built into ROM. It is made by Parallax, Inc. and has been quite popular with electronics hobbyists since the early 1990s due to its low threshold of learning and ease of use (due to its simple BASIC language).

Although the Basic Stamp has the form of a DIP chip, it is in fact a small Printed Circuit Board that contains the essential elements of a microprocessor system:

  • A CPU
  • Memory (a serial EEPROM)
  • A clock
  • A power supply
  • External input and output

The Basic Stamp language incorporates common microcontroller functions, including PWM, serial communications, I²C and OWI communications, communications with common LCD driver circuits, hobby servo pulse trains, pseudo-sine wave frequencies, and the ability to time an RC circuit which may be used to detect an analog value.

shows how much @JaneeBay knows. @lilduval was right when he said traitor. now just put a stamp on your forehead that reads "BASIC"
