Hai, everyone

I want to ask about program and data in basic stamp2 microcontroller. Is the program in basic stamp Loss if we disconnect the power supply at basic stamp?

Thanks for the answer.

    NO, the PROGRAM is not lost, but if you were counting things, the
    count (variable) would be lost.


    You can write that to memrory and not lose it, but writes are
    somewhat limited to only a 100,000 or something.

    There are chips with memory that you can write to, an EEPROM would
    allow you to do that, or there is a RAM chip you can use.

    The real time clocks also have scratch pad ram and since most people
    back up the clock with a battery, that makes the clock memory non-
    volitle.
