Just one question:
Obviously, we'd use the Java Editor/Compiler, but as it's pin outs are the
same as the BS2 series, can we program it using our existing BOE board?
If so, then all I'd need to order would be the CD, and a chip or two to play
with.

tolerate higher input voltages (24 vdc) because of the switching
regulator.
The toughest part for BASIC Stamp programmers will be adopting to the
very strict rules of Java. It's worth it, though.

the Javelin Stamp at the Embedded System Conference in San Francisco
last week, and I picked up a version 0.9 beta demo package. The chip
itself is "pearl" color. It is going to be a long learning curve for
me to use it, because I am not a java or C programmer to start, and a
lot of the way things are structured are unfamiliar. The manual has a
lot of tutorial material, some of it written by our own Al Williams,
I believe.
These links still work:

As usual, Parallax had one of the most lively exhibits at the show,
and they did not have to resort to hiring actors dressed up as
Klingons to attract a crowd. (Although, Parallax does harbor some
great actors!)

oriented (as is C++). More and more it is becoming the standard for
computer science and technology degrees. Java's touted write-once,
run anyway structure, is a great benefit, even if it doesn't live up
to it all the time.
The Object-oriented structure really loans itself to devices, where
pins, IC's and what-not become objects which can be easily used
provided a 'class' file for them. I am excited about the possibility
of teaching Java using the Javelin. And the IDE is great with
debugging features such as single-stepping through instructions.
My goal is to be magnetically-suspending a ball by the end of next
weekend with the Javelin. Then on to a StampPlot object class [noparse]:)[/noparse]
Hey, Tracy Allen, I didn't know you were at the ESC conference.
Sorry I missed being introduced.

Heh, I played with Java once. Hated it. :-\
I still have my "Teach Yourself Java in 21 days" book (Sams Publishing),
which comes with a CD with a Java compiler for Mac/Win/Unix, so I may blow
the dust off it and go through it again. Should be easier now that I've
been programming in RealBasic for a while, and have almost got the idea of
Object Oriented Programming.
Assume I can order them direct from Parallax? Dick Smith Electronics will
probably put a ridiculous margin on them...
Cheers,
Ben in Windy Wellington, New Zealand.

What happens is this:
I buy the book.
I practice the first two chapters or so. (eg half day out of 21)
I get bored and look stuff up on the Internet instead.
The consequence is that I've been programming in Java for 4 years, and still
have got another 20.5 days to finish learning [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Don't forget the Javelin uses a Java-like language. If you download the
manual PDF you'll see that there are two chapters geared at learning the
Java-like language.
Several things make it easier.
1) No GUI. Java isn't that hard if you quit trying to learn Sun's
bizarre graphics system (especially the old AWT).
2) The documentation is written assuming you might not care to use every
object oriented feature in the world. Don't get me wrong, I like OOP,
use it, and encourage you to use the Javelin's OOP features. However, if
you want, you can use the editor to generate a skeleton program that has
a main() function and write everything in the main function. Of course,
it isn't much harder to slip in some static functions... And so you can
add features to your tool box little by little as you get more
comfortable with them.
I guess my point is that you can elect to start off being an "object
consumer" instead of an "object provider". Parallax has a whole set of
objects that let you use UARTs (that read and write in the
background!!!), PWM, A/D, D/A, etc. We will have objects for things like
PAK1s and I'm sure there will be others.
Just as an example, here is a snippet of code that uses a PAK-I to print
a square root table:
public static void main() {
int v;
PAK1 pak1=new PAK1(CPU.pin15,CPU.pin14);
sqrttable(pak1);
pak1.intLoadX(22);
pak1.intLoadY(7);
pak1.div(); // pi is almost = 22/7
pak1.debug(1); // prints +3.142 (the 1 argument is digits b4
decimal)
System.out.println("Done");
}
Then here is the sqrttable subroutine:
public static void sqrttable(PAK1 pak1) {
int i;
for (i=1;i<=1000;i++) {
pak1.intLoadX(i);
pak1.debug(4);
System.out.print(" ");
pak1.sqrt();
pak1.debug(2);
System.out.println(" ");
}
}
You can see that by making PAK1 an object, it is easy to call methods
like sqrt, debug, intLoadX, etc. With the Basic Stamp, this same code is
messier since there are no formal parametes:
Fpx=I
Gosub FintLoadX ' or whatever
Also, if you wanted to use multiple PAK-Is with the Javelin, it would be
trivial to just make a second copy of the PAK-I object. With the Stamp
libraries, it would be tough! Of course, you probably don't need more
than one PAK-I, but you get the idea.
So read the manual with an open mind first. Then see if you want to go
out and read a Java book. You might be surprised...

unit ahead of us lot.
I was a bit tongue in cheek with my prev email, and perhaps being a tad too
ironic - according to my reckoning with all the books claiming teach
yourself <???> in 21 days I've got, I am still behind by about 18 weeks in
book-time in learning to program - but I've been programming microprocessors
since 1977 !
Anyway, I guess we are are all looking forward to playing with the Javelin
and trying it out.

y = y + 1 - (x max 1)
I agree that the structured programming on the Javelin is exciting,
as are the other features like the background processing and the
surfeit of memory. I'm still at the stage of looking at a Java
program and saying, "what the heck is that??". When I have a few
spare minutes I'll enjoy sitting down with the great examples in the
manual. As much as I like the idea of the Javelin, the power
consumption is too high for most of my apps in data loggers.

Javilin looks killer. Looks like a great job, has break points and
all to do inline debugging. Could use the shortcut keys ctrl j and
put it also under the right click popup menu.
I know a few people have asked if it is compatible with there bs2
type development boards so I am going to assume that the cable is the
same as a bs2 cable?
I think that this is going to be a whole new and better way to
program a microcontroller. Truthfully I left alone my bs2's and
switched to sx's for the fact that you can make it look like you are
doing more things at once with interupts and all. Have made great
projects with the ethernet demo board wich has the socket for the
jvm. Just don't have the $25k. LOL Anyway, Parallax I hope in the
near future that you will be adding an ethernet port to the javalin
to make it more networkable and all. Got to have ethernet. Or
atleast a way to hook ethernet up to it.
I also see that you have a modified java *.net onboard that does
tcp/ip and udp. Great job.
I am a bit miffed at the fact that when I installed the download that
all my java files associated now look like a little javalin stamp.
Way un-cool. It is a pain for us Java programmers out here. Need
atleast a checkbox to stop this in the setup program.
Why does the parallax.com page not have a link to javalinstamp.com?

To all you out there that don't do java. Here is my tip to you. Go
to your favorite book store and purchase a teach yourself in 21 days
or 24Hrs java book. This will definitly help you out in the long run
and you will be more fluent and able to do swing, jdc, awt, java
beans, and applets for the internet. I did and I still purchase
books from VB, C, C++, Java, JavaScript and now I am learning
programming of the Palm os with one of these books. Oh yes, once
java then C and C++ comes very natrually to you. Basically it is the
same darn thing except stated diffrently but the style is the same.
Also on a side note. Nasa used java for many programs and even used
it for there mars missions.

of times a free-running timer overflows extends the potential counting

Good catch on the file associations; we'll fix that.
Yes, same programming cable, footprint, pinout, works in all our existing
carrier boards, etc.
Yes, there is a very nice Ethernet board forthcoming. The prototype was
demonstrated at Embedded Systems Conference last week, and it's pretty
slick. Javelin Stamp plus Ethernet board was operating as a web server on a
network during the Javelin Stamp Educators Course. Release date TBD.

Sorry to take advantage of you but... I JUST received a BS2p
Starter Kit and Plus kit this past week. I am just getting back
into micros (after a 10 year hiatus). I subscribed to this
newsgroup and find out about the "Javelin!" Question: Will I be
able to use prototype board with the Javelin chip (by swapping
chips, obviously)? If not I will contact Sales and get things
exchanged.
Thanks.
