Programming and Customizing the Basic Stamp


Book Description

CLASSIC GUIDE TO CUSTOMIZING BASIC STAMP FOR HOBBYISTS AND DESIGNERS If you want to take advantage of the popular PIC Microcontroller for your electronics projects, but are intimidated by the programming involved, your worries are over. Programming and Customizing the Basic Stamp, Second Edition gives you a comprehensive tutorial on the easy-to-use BASIC Stamp single-board computer, which runs a PIC Microcontroller, and doesn't require you to do any assembly language programming. This new edition moves you briskly from electronic foundations through BASIC Stamp "Boot Camps" and an intelligent traffic signal simulation to build a robotic bug with whisker sensors, a time/temperature display, and a data-logging thermometer. Written by Scott Edwards, the original author of the widely read "Stamp Applications" column for Nuts & Volts magazine, this easy-to-follow reference includes a CD that gives you all the IBM- compatible software tools necessary to begin developing Stamp applications.




Inkjet Applications


Book Description

Now for the first time, you too can unlock the secrets of Thermal Inkjet printing. INKJET APPLICATIONS will show you how to design and build circuits that drive the HP 51604A inkjet cartridge. Most any microcontroller can be used, including the BASIC Stamp 2 and Parallax SX. Circuits include single nozzle firing and alphanumeric printing (fonts included). Non-typical applications are outlined as well, like "Typer" and "Paint-Bot" - robots that print text or they can "shoot" an opponent with ink drops - up to four inches away. INKJET APPLICATIONS was written by Matt Gilliland, author of the popular "Microcontroller Application Cookbook" series. The Foreword was written by Frank Cloutier, and tells the story of how Thermal Inkjet technology was developed. Mr. Cloutier was the leader of the small team that persued this "interesting discovery" at HP labs.
