Introduction
It’s not often that we start technical documentation with a bit of marketing punch. If you like the low cost of a
BASIC Stamp Rev. Dx (retails ~$34) and the idea of a half-price BASIC Stamp 2 / Board of Education (retails
~$100) then the BASIC Stamp HomeWork board is the ticket for your classroom. This is the least expensive way
to get a large educational group started with the BASIC Stamp microcontroller.
The HomeWork Board was created specifically for educators to send home with students with these uses in
mind:
Since it is less expensive than the Board of Education / BS2 module, can the board be used for Stamps in Class
experiments? Most likely, with the following considerations:
However, these cost-reducing limitations do not limit the use of the HomeWork Board for most projects. In fact,
the minimalist design is simple to use and entirely flexible for most projects.
