Is there any documentation that lists all the commands the BS2 has?
I'm going through the "what is a microcontroller" and skimming over a few others and would like to see a list of commands the BS2 is capable of doing.
Its a little irretating to come across a new command in the exercises and not know the BS2 was capable of doing it.

    You can download manuals and software from Parallax here:

    In particular, see the·BASIC Stamp Syntax and Reference Manual...

    http://www.engr.udayton.edu/faculty/jloomis/ece445/stamp/pbasic.htm·lists commands for BS1 & BS2, but not the special commands for the faster Stamps.

    Hi There,

    What's a Microcontroller? is designed to introduce BASIC Stamp programming and electronics one concept and command at a time, and is not a comprehensive guide to the entire language. To see all the commands,·simply look in the BASIC Stamp Editor Help, bundled with the free BASIC Stamp Editor v2.5 or higher. (The first chapter of the WAM book guides you to the Help file to explore the command reference section - easy to miss while skimming.)

    You can always find the latest software here:

    www.parallax.com/basicstampsoftware

    Open the "PBASIC Language Reference" from the main menu, and you will see all the available PBASIC commands, which models they are for, their syntax, and links to more complete descriptions with example code. Under that section of the Help menu, you will also see the Reserved Word List tables, that also include formatters, etc.

    What's a Microcontroller? and the complete BASIC Stamp Manual are included as PDF files in the Help as well. You can open them from your computer's Start menu or the·Editor's·Help menu.

    -Steph
