Basic stamp starter information

Hey guys and gals,

I am just getting started in BS (hg) and need some information.

My goal is to interface a Basic Stamp into my kilns so that I can monitor
the temperature as they heat up. What I need the basic stamp to go is get the
temperature from the thermocouple and relay it to the computer that controls the
shop.

I saw the article in Nuts & Volts about the BS that reads thermocouple
input, exactly what I want. I have figured out that I need the BS2pe. What
type of starter board to I need to get started? Would the BOE work?

    Wesley,

    I really, really like my BS2pe with the extra eight banks of memory
    and built-in LCD support and it is low power. Just what I need for
    my project.

    I don't know about the BOE. I have the NX-1000 24/40 board. It has
    a thermocouple on it. Haven't used it though. That board has worked
    well for me. Has quite a few circuits already on it.

    Best wishes,
    Frank

    Yes, the BOE will work. If you look at the pictures in the article
    you'll see I used a BOE in my experiments. Note that you can use a BS2p
    or BS2pe for that project (requires 1-Wire communications with DS2760
    module).

    Then NX-1000 24/40 does NOT have a thermocouple on it -- it has a DS1621
    (I2C) temperature sensor. There is a difference and I don't want anyone
    purchasing the NX-1000 24/40 for the wrong reason.

    Like you, I find that board perfect for my experiments; I even have a
    BS1 module connected to one end of the breadboard.
