WIll the BASIC Stamp 2pe Motherboard have an a/d and io board for monitor and control at
some time in the future?

    The AVR peripheral processors on the Basic Stamp 2pe Motherboard already provide A/D and digital I/O (among other things). Each of the two processors can independently provide 4 digital inputs or 4 digital outputs or 2 analog inputs (10 bits) and the firmware could be modified for other variations if need be.

    Given this existing capability and the availability of a prototyping daughterboard, I doubt that Parallax would add specific additional daughterboards that just extend the existing capability modestly. There's just not enough of a market for it.

    It would be very easy to add some I/O expansion on a prototyping daughterboard using a standard I2C or SPI I/O expanders or ADCs. You could even add extra AVR coprocessors using the same firmware as that on the motherboard.

    oceansblue,

    There are additional daughterboards in the works. What kind of functionality (please be very specific) were you hoping for?
