Basic Stamp Editor for other PIC''s?

If you wish to have many projects working without the removal of software, then PICs would be more cost effective. If you want to prototype something, and see how it works with all the free help in the world, then BS2s are more valuable. That's a decision you have to make.

Hi John:
I was trying to figure out why you say going from BS2 (approx $50 each) to
PIC (i.e. 16F870 w/2KRam, approx $5 each) is so expensive??
Thanks for pointing out the ability of PICBasicPro (kind of expensive at
$200) to copy BS2 Programs to PIC's. I've tried to do that on my own and
had an impossible task of it using a program called CH Basic - Flash Edition
from www.celestialhorizons.com (an outfit in Australia). I tried to
duplicate the BS2 Program for the SHT1X Sensiron Temp/Humidity Sensor
written by Jon Williams on the 16F870, and it sort of works, but does not
give accurate counts. I know the problem is in the BS2 Math Manipulations
which I could not duplicate with CH Basic!

Parallax anyway, no. What you want is PICBasicPro from meLabs. This software
is completely word-for-word with PBASIC, except for it has more instructions
to choose from. You can copy-paste-program your BS2 code to a PIC if you
wish. The only problem with this is very expensive (Just one of the many
reasons the BS2 still conquers). But I do highly recommend it if you are in
to PICs past the point of no return. Go to http://www.glitchbuster.com/ .
Email Randy Jones, and you'll be on your way. No matter how hard you look
though, Parallax will still be the leader in tech. support and
documentation. Best of al.. It's free!
