Sorry for bothering you, but I am new to Basic Stamp and I would
like some info about erasing the eeprom of BasicStamp 2. Any
suggestions? Thank You.

    When you download a new program the EEPROM is replaced with a map of
    your program and any data. The simplest program is

    END

    which will clear the EEPROM and cause the IOs to initialize as inputs.
    This is a good idea if you're experimenting and changing circuits, or
    sending your Stamp to a friend and don't know what circuitry they will
    connect it to.

    Why would you want to erase it. Everytime you write a new program it simply
    overwrites the old data.
