<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have used both the BS2 and the BasicX chips. The
BasicX has a superior interface (in my opinion). I had one robot that took
4 basic stamps to work. My second revision used just one BasicX with "more"
functionality.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Go to basicx.com and click downloads. Get the
"programming environment"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Having loads more ram and code space is awesome.
Having an ADC is almost a must. Floating point support makes the math a whole
lot easier when you need it.</FONT></DIV>

then make lots of fudgy circuits to patch your PWM it would be easier <BR>to
change the stamp to a basicX, You will likely run out of program space <BR>and
ram later anyway.<BR></FONT><BR>One of the things I like about the Parallax

you poiint me to the place where I could try out the editor/compiler for thte
