What's the best Newbie Basic Stamp learner kit?

John Raplee, Jr

Well, I was at my buddy Chrises place, and we narrowed it down to a student kit.· Off hand I cant remember which it was.· The price was either 149 or 159.· I cant rememeber.· Anyhow he said it included everything I'd need to start off.· He also gave me the new Basic Stamp Manual.· So I have been looking through that.· It's looking tough, but I have my mind set to learn this stuff, as I am an avid Computer person, and a self taught Tech.· Well, I am looking for as cheap as possable, so try and keep that inmind.·

Sounds like the "Basic stamp discovery kit" for $169

You could get away with the "What's a microcontroller" kit from Radio Shack (still a parallax product), I think it is $79, but uses the "homework" board so you cannot remove the stamp from the board (and if you blow it up your done). I would go for the discovery kit.

Yes Bean, he was looking at the Discovery Kit...That would be the one I recommended to do everything he wanted to do.
