C-compiler?

Hi,
I just bought a BASIC stamp and as a C++ programmer I find BASIC is
lacking many features. Does anybody if there is a C or C++ compiler
for the stamp?
Or would it be better to use another chip?

Thanks

Hans Merkl

    There are a number of C compilers for the PIC
    micro used by STAMPS.

    Search http://www.microchip.com - Last time I
    looked they had a demo version of CCS C, among
    other things.

    Hi-Tech offers a 16F84-only free compiler,
    quite similar to their commercial compiler.

    regards, Jack

    You can also try the Atmel AVR. I stopped using the PIC after I got
    started with AVR. All AVRs are flash so you don't have to throw away
    the chip if the code doesn't work.

    There are 2 C compilers that I know of for AVR, "Imagecraft"
    and "Codevision". You can find out more AVR stuff at
    www.avrfreaks.com
