Anyone has used Windows Vista to program BS2-IC before?

    Hello,

    Many of our customers are using Windows Vista with the BASIC Stamp Editor. Are you experiencing an issue with it?

    no, I am thinking to buy the BS2 stamp to build my project which requires about 5 photoresistors and 3 servo motors running at the same time with different speed.

    Controlling 3 servo motors is commonly done with a BS2.· The BoeBot has the two wheel servos and an optional PING bracket servo and a BS2 has no problem controlling all 3.· You have to be careful how you do the photoresistors.· The servos require a 0.5 to 2.5ms control pulse every 20ms or so.· That leaves about 10ms for reading the photoresistor values and acting on them.· You need to choose your RC value appropriately so the RCTIME statement completes in less than 2ms so all 5 can be read in the 10ms time window.· You could alternate reading the photoresistor values and doing any computations required ... 10ms for one ... 10ms for the other action.

    thanks a lot, I guess I will buy BS2 and about 5 or 6 photoresistor and start my project.
