New Robotics with the Boe-Bot Text v2.0
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The evolution of the Boe-Bot continues with the release of this revamped
319 page
text. Due to the 41 hands on activities offered and the information
presented, it's more than just a text. It's the best resource available
for
people of all ages to get started in robotics with the Boe-Bot. Here's
the link to
the Boe-Bot page - http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28132

Highlighted Improvements:

1) BASIC Stamp programming introduction for beginners

2) New source code programs for PBASIC 2.5
Examples include: IF...THEN...ELSEIF...ELSE , DO...LOOP , SELECT...CASE

code block instructions

3) Programs designed for the Futaba-manufactured Parallax Continuous
Rotation Servos

4) Audio and LED light indicator circuits for low-battery brownout,
infrared
interference, and sensor trouble-shooting

5) New photoresistor experiment now demonstrates digital measurements
using
resistor divider circuits, in addition to analog measurements with an RC

circuit and decay time.

6) Improved remote object and distance detection with shielded,
frequency-matched infrared LED emitters and detectors that increase
functional distance
