I have a homework board and boe-bot. Next semester·i will be getting into c+ and assembly language. My question is, does parallax make a stamp that is compatable using c+ or assembly language.· I like to get my feet wet a little before i get thrown in deep.lol.· I had my homework board before we actually learned p-basic in class and i had a fairly easy time because "on my own" i wanted to learn a little before i started. My·last semester isnt for about a month, im just thinking maybe of trying to get my feet "a little wet" and try to do exercises using c+ and assembly and didnt know if parallax or any other company offers any products where set up like the "whats a microcontroller" series where you can do exercises·but using C+ and or assembley. Thanks for reading and being able to give any advice. Im had alot of fun so far using pbasic and doing the boe-bots and the exercises in whats a microcontroller. I had alot of fun.

    Parallax, no. But here's a Stamp-ish chip that programs in C: http://www.c-stamp.com/

    The Spin Stamp (www.parallax.com/StoreSearchResults/tabid/768/List/0/SortField/4/ProductID/448/Default.aspx?txtSearch=spin+stamp) is a Propeller in a mostly Stamp compatible package. You have to get a PropClip for programming and you have to be careful with I/O devices since the Spin Stamp uses 3.3V logic levels and the other Stamps use 5V logic levels.

    The Propeller can be programmed in a variety of languages including its assembly language, Spin, and C.

    A version of SX/B is now known as PropBasic and can be used to generate assembly language and there's a graphical programming language called 12-Blocks that generates Spin code and is designed for beginners to use.
