Parallax Summer Special
Only $79
*****************************

Hello Friends,

Our most popular Summer Special ever is back for another limited time
performance in 2004! This special kit is available online at
www.parallax.com now through 9/1 or while supplies last. Many of you
have already placed pre-orders for this kit and we're excited to
announce that they will begin shipping today. Our warehouse is stocked
full of kits that are ready for immediate shipment.

This all-in-one set-up features the HomeWork Board project platform with
a BASIC Stamp(r) 2 microcontroller built onto the board. This convenient
board is accompanied by the What's a Microcontroller? (WAM?) Text, our
introductory guide to the world of BASIC Stamp microcontrollers. Once
you have completed the 40+ activities in the 300 page WAM? Text you will
have the experience and confidence to create your own micro-controlled
projects. The component kit includes a Parallax Standard Servo, LED's,
resistors, capacitors, sensors, a speaker and more. As always, the BASIC
Stamp Editor software is included on the CD-ROM (or available online as
a free download). Even if you're an experienced Stamper, you'll enjoy
experimenting with this low cost and handy set up.

As an extra bonus, you can save on selected sensors when you order the
Parallax Summer Special (#90005; $79.00) online. Visit our home page or
the link below for complete details -

We hope that you enjoy this special kit.

    Hi Erik,

    Are you going to release a few more speicals ?

    I ordered a BS2p yestarday and hate shpping costs, so if you're going
    to offer a few more summer speicals, I'll wait a few days before
    getting more stuff. did I mention I hate shipping costs ?

    The timing for the BS2p could not have been better, I'm laying out a
    project with I2C AND SPI just in case the I2C became too much of a
    bother.

    Dave

    ps: let us know how fast they sell out.

    Hi Dave,

    I'm glad that you were able to get your hands on one of the BS2p24's.
    Less than 60 remain available. I'll post a message to the group as soon
    as they sell out.

    Yes, as a matter of fact we have another special featuring the SumoBot.
    The ad is coming out in July's Servo Magazine. If you purchase the
    SumoBot, you get an LCD Appmod for free ($39 value) and if you're one of
    the first 50 customers to place an order, we'll add Pete Miles' Robot
    Sumo:The Official Guide for free too($24.99 value).

    Have fun with all of your new purchase!

    In case anyone is interested, I bought the What's a Microcontroller?
    kit and love it. The book is well written and $79 is an excellant
    value for what is included.
