New to Forum and Programming

Hello everyone.
Looks like a great site. I'm looking forward to learning something new. I picked up two BS2 with cables at a yard sale last week. I'm waiting on an USB adapter from Parallax. Can I write and check programs without the Stamp connected? Thanks.

Yes you can
'
I assume you have down loaded the software from Parallax.(Its free)
'
You can use the spell/syntax checker to make sure the code is some what right.
'
In the end you'll need to download the program to the stamp to really see it work.

Good luck and welcome to the forums

Yard sale? Please don't break my heart and say everything was a buck! Ah well, someone's loss is your gain. Welcome to the forums, Steve129; there are lots of smart & helpful people here.
