Beginners Question
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I want to develope my application on a Basic Stamp
IISX. After I have developed my application I want to
produce multiple copies of the code in other stamp
chips. Is my desire feasible?, Can I actually "burn"
instructions into other chips so that I can "mass"
produce my development.

Comments
You can check out Tracy Allen's site for the Stache, micro-programmer
for the BASIC Stamp II.
His site : http://www.emesystems.com/
then look for the "Stache micro-Programmer"
I don't know if it is set up for the SX chip, but you can start by
checking out his pages.
If you are wondering if you can prototype on the Stamp IISX then port
your PBasic over to a PIC, the simple answer is NO. PBaxsic is
proprietary to the Stamp product line. You would have to re-code in
another language.
