that column. Nuts & Volts has the old stuff, and Parallax has old and new,
but not in between.
Found the list of articles:

You may have to paste together the link.
It is on Parallax's website along with all of the columns.

them.
http://www.parallaxinc.com/html_files/products/BS_Books/N&V.asp provides the
first 75 Nuts and Volts columns. That's 980 pages of BASIC Stamp
applications for you, for free.
Ken Gracey, Parallax
http://www.parallaxinc.com and http://www.stampsinclass.com
Microcontroller Application Cookbook Vol 1&2 features BASIC
Stamp code examples for almost any interface you can
imagine. $54.95 for both volumes at www.parallaxinc.com/mac
I don't quite understand, the information in these books is now
going to be offered as free downloads instead of being sold? I'm all for
sharing as much information with each other as we can, but I just purchased
the two volume set, and if that's the case, those of us who have purchased
copies could feel stung just a bit. I'm sure that I'm not understanding
correctly.
Thank You,
Tim

stuff from Tracy and the other guy.
Umm... the Stamp manual is free to download too... But it sure is nice to
have a hard copy. I can find what I'm looking for alot faster flipping pages
than I can clicking and scrolling.

We did the book series first because there had been so many requests for it.
We actually have to tear it apart and reformat so that it can be PDF'd in a
form suitable for home printing -- this takes time.

Thanks very much for the URL to the June 2000 article. A great help. I must
admit to now having ordered the two volume set of the "Nuts and Volts of
Basic Stamp" as I find it much easier to search through a book looking for
an item of interest rather than the net. It also costs money to print them
all out. However, it is handy to have them on the web as I can print out
what I have a particular interest in and make notes on it (sort of like a
working document).
Cheers,
John
