Kudos for Parallax.

Hello- I have just finished my first basic stamp project. In my
first experience with Parallax products I can say that I am very
impressed with the customer support from Parallax, as well as their
timely manner in shipping orders from their website.
My first project uses a BS2p, the Red-i webserver, and the Emic text-
to-speech module. I bought a plastic skull from the anatomical chart
company, and all of the above hardware is inside of it. The skull
has LEDs in the eyes, which can be turned on or off via a pushbutton
on the skull. A servo opens and closes the jaw. The skull is TCP/IP
web enabled via the Redi, which serves webpages that all text to be
entered- once text is entered via the webpage, the skull eyes turn
on, the jaw opens, and the Emic speaks the text. The skull also has
a sensor in it that can tell when it has been turned over, and the
skull will request that it be set up-right.
My first project was not that difficult to complete, due to the
wonderful documentation and support from the stamp/parallax community.
I look forward to using Stamps more in the future.
