A BASIC Stamp 3 idea!

AwesomeCronk

Hello, I have an idea for a BS3 module. I am thinking of making it a 24 pin, in a similar package to the Javelin. This module would have a program director chip, to contrl the program loading direction. Then there would be a shared EEPROM and clock, as well as one for each of the four PBASIC Interpreters. There would also be commands to immediately start or stop an interpreter, as well as four editor panes in the Stamp Editor, one to write the code for each interpreter. when the download is initiated, the data from each pane would be loaded to the corresponding interpreter. There would have to be extra pins on these interpreters, to be able to communicate between them.

You just described roughly half of a Propeller Flip module!

But with PBASIC usage!

Figured that was how the Prop might work.

There is always PropBasic.

And the nice thing is the FLIP module is only $28 which is cheaper than the cheapest BASIC Stamp.

I have not heard of this PropBasic.

There's also FemtoBasic which is in the Propeller Object Exchange in various versions ... with either an analog TV or VGA monitor for display with a PS/2 keyboard or one version that uses a serial terminal. PropBasic compiles a subset of Basic into Propeller assembly code. FemtoBasic is an interpreter that runs stand-alone on the Propeller.

Hmm, worth looking into. I am however unable to at the moment all of my Parallax stuff is in boxes.

Publison, I would like this thread closed, thanks.
