I've heard about a lot of neat ways people have been circumventing the
limitations of mindstorms. I've been wondering why I haven't heard
anything about people replacing the RCX unit with a basic stamp.

"BASIC Stamps are small, self-contained computers that use familiar BASIC
instructions to make powerful use of their I/O pins. You can power a
BASIC stamp with a 9V battery. They're great for robotics, home control,
science projects, driving LCD displays, model railroad control, and more.
You program the Stamp for your application by connecting it to your
PC-compatible computer's.... serial port."
"BASIC Stamp II has 2 kilobytes of EEPROM memory. 16 I/O lines can be
used to control circuitry and generate frequencies, DTMF tones... and
more."
16 I/O pins...
and there's demo programs to network them....

| (...) [snip] Oh its not forgotten! I am waiting for some spare cycles to see if I can send serial data out from either the IR on the RCX or a motor output on the RCX to one of my Stamp II Miniboards. I just haven't had the time! DLC (25 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)
