Protable basic stamp programming/debugging platforms

edited 2001-10-29 23:36 in General Discussion
I'm one of the electronics guys on a FIRST robotics
team (524), and I'm looking for a code
development/debugging platform for our robot that's
more portable than a desktop computer.

It needs to run the standard parallax pbasic editor,be
less than 500 dollars and have at least one rs232
serial port.

any ideas?

    I may be off base - but - if you are tying your requirements to a parallax
    editor, aren't you restricting yourself to a parallax product? If you wanna
    do some serious client-server development, you can wirewrap a Z80B
    microcontroller with extensive I/O and true interrupts for less than
    50.00.......

    You might try a computer swap meet for an older machine. You can get away
    with a lot less computer if you'll use the DOS editor.
