From the humble beginnings with the BASIC Stamp Rev. D in 1992, the Stamp line
has expanded to include 8 different types of BASIC Stamp modules with varying
capabilities.
Overview
BASIC Stamp 2 Module
BS2-IC
The BASIC Stamp 2 (BS2-IC) is the single most popular BASIC Stamp module.
Widely used in educational, hobby, and industrial applications. There is also an
industrial version of the BS2.
BASIC Stamp
2E ModuleBS2E-IC
Using the Ubicom SX microcontroller, the BS2E-IC runs at
the same speed as BASIC Stamp II, but has the RAM and EEPROM size benefits of
the BS2SX, but without the speed and power consumption
BASIC Stamp 2SX Module
BS2SX-IC
Using the Ubicom SX microcontroller, the
BS2SX-IC provides the highest speed, largest program memory, and fastest serial
I/O in the BASIC Stamp family.
BASIC
Stamp 2P24 Module BS2P24-IC
The highest performing of all the BASIC Stamps. With a program execution
speed of ~12,000 instructions/second, it is 3 times faster than a BS2-IC and 20%
faster than the BS2SX-IC.
BASIC Stamp 2P40 Module
BS2P40-IC
The BASIC Stamp 2 SX Plus (BS2P-IC) has several advantages
over all previous BASIC Stamps. Commands for interfacing with parallel LCDs, I2C
devices and Dallas Semiconductor One Wire parts have been added along with a
polled interrupt capability
BASIC Stamp 2pe BS2PE
Was designed for the datalogging customer that requires low power consumption
and extensive memory for data storage. The tradeoff is that the program
execution speed is ~6,000 instructions/second.
BASIC Stamp 1
BS1-IC
This is equivalent to the Rev. D except it is packaged in a 14-pin SIP module.
BASIC Stamp
Rev. D
The original BASIC Stamp, operating in many custom projects since its
introduction in 1992.
The Stamp
Collection
Consists of the BS1, BS2, BS2e, BS2sx, and BS2p24. This package is
recommended for the engineer that wants to check out all of our BASIC Stamp
options and for the experienced user that wants to increase their inventory.
