Hi Jon,
I wonder which pin-out of the BS2p you will describe for your
upcoming N&V article? At the embedded systems conference, Chuck was
showing off both a 40 pin carrier with all 32 i/o's brought out to
pins, and another in the standard 24 pin carrier with 16 i/o's. (on
yellow circuit boards!) And there was yet another prototype on a 24
pin carrier that brought the extra 16 i/o's to a special fine-pitch
header on the end of the board. I just wonder how it will come out?
Having the extra 16 i/o's is sure an attractive possibility, but so
is compatibility with existing sockets.

Or to store configuration data for a project in one bank, but access
it directly with reads and writes from any other bank. I can take
some credit for lobbying hard for that one!

My focus has been on the BS2p-24 (the auxiliary header on the BS2p-24 has
gone away in production) for the compatibility reasons you suggested. I have
a 40-pinner and use it from time-to-time. The real exciting stuff is the
LCD, One-Wire and I2C stuff in both -- I love it.
The BS2p is known around Parallax halls as "the golden Stamp" because of its
unique color. Ken Gracey tells me that the BS2p will ship mid-to-late
January. It really is the best new Stamp in a very long time.

Does it use a PIC or a SCENIX CPU(or other)?

Mike -
The BS-2SX + (aka BS2SXp-24 uses a Scenix processor as well.

I have several PCB's I need to get laid down and I really want to use
the latest and greatest stamp.
Does anyone have a definitive pin-out for the 40 pin unit yet?
cheers

Download the manual version 2.0 from the Parallax web site and you
will find the layout on p.18 in the .pdf file (p/16 in print). The
mainio is on pins 5--20, and auxio is on pins 21--36. I don't know
when they will start shipping in earnest.

I have been using a BS2P with a 40 x 2 LCD to control the front end of a PC
type radio and have had no problems whatsoever! This is a fantasic device.

Seetron and the LCD+ sold by netmedia. Both work just fine.

serial LCDs (especially from my pal, Scott Edwards), but if you have the
pins, you can connect an LCD directly to the BS2p. You can download code
samples from Parallax.

and install a 4 x 20 LCD. Been dying to try a BS2P and didn't want to mess
with a serial LCD or write code for a BS1 or BS2.

I found it annoying on the mini sumo that the servos got bogged down while
reading the Sharp digital ranger and figured a serial LCD would be similar.

routines you bypass the delay incurred by sending the data serially and then
having to parse it out in the LCD controller.

90,000 feet this weekend. The extra large scratch pad RAM is a
blessing.
Paul
will give you a nice RTC plus about 256 bytes of RAM and is very easy to use.
You can see how I use it in my December Nuts & Volts column (the project is
a simple BS2p-based security system).

the BSp24 Demo Board.
Where can I buy a box/case to protect the board while I am using
it? Seems like I shuld be able to mount the board.
Thanks!
