Time to Experiment
LEARN THE PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS
What follows is a series of programming experiments that you can build and run with
your StampWorks lab. The purpose of these experiments is to teach programming
concepts and the use of external components with the BASIC Stamp. The
experiments are focused and designed so that as you gain experience, you can
combine the individual concepts to produce sophisticated programs.
BUILDING THE PROJECTS
This section of the manual is simple but important because you will learn important
programming lessons and construction techniques using your StampWorks lab. As
you move through the rest of the manual, construction details will not be included
(you’ll be experienced by then and can make your own choices) and the discussion
of the program will be less verbose, focusing specifically on special techniques or
external devices connected to the BASIC Stamp.
WHAT TO DO BETWEEN PROJECTS
The circuit from one project may not be electrically compatible with another and
could, in some cases, cause damage to the BASIC Stamp if the old program is run
with the new circuit. For this reason, a blank program should be downloaded to the
BASIC Stamp before connecting the new circuit. This will protect the BASIC Stamp by
resetting the I/O lines to inputs. Here’s a simple program that will clear and reset the
BASIC Stamp.
' {$STAMP BS2}
Main:
For convenience, save this program to a file called CLEAR.BS2.
DEBUG "BASIC Stamp clear."
