The BASIC Stamp 2pe serves as the brains inside of electronics projects and applications that require a programmable microcontroller. It is able to control and monitor timers, keypads, motors, sensors, switches, relays, lights, and more. Programming is performed in an easy-to-learn language called PBASIC.

All vital components (processor, clock source, memory, power regulator) are provided on the BS2pe's tiny PCB; just connect power and go! Projects needing small, permanent soldering area for circuitry may benefit from combining the BS2pe-IC with the BASIC Stamp 2 Carrier Board (#27120) or the Super Carrier Board (#27130).

The BS2pe-IC is useful for those that have previous experience with the BS2p and are building battery-powered or data logging applications. The execution speed is slower than the BS2p and the wake-up interval is less that 1 ms, so battery life is extended significantly.

For customers that require true multi-processing or video generation, we highly recommend the Propeller microcontroller.
