BSII extra I/O

Hello all,
I have an application where the 16 I/O pins provided by the BSII are
not going to be enough to do the job. I have seen 8 pin and 16 pin
I/O expansion chips somewhere out there but I do not remember where I
saw them. Can anyone point me in the right direction?? I believe
that these chips communicated with the BSII via a single pin
utilizing serial type communications.


Thankx in advance,
Steve Tatum

    Steve,

    We make a variety of co-processors which can add an almost unlimited
    number of pins to a stamp, as well as off-loading much of the output
    funtionality to simplify your stamp programming. These range from
    single chip solutions with 16 outputs to high powered driver boards
    with 16 or 32 outputs, and boards that also include a socket and
    connectors for the stamp. You can see complete information about all
    of them at www.oaktreesystems.com
