Extra Memory

ss68

I have the basic stamp board of education with the BS2 chip. I am programming a system with two Ping))) sensors, an accelerometer, an LCD, and a simple buzzer. The specifics on this program are such that I am afraid I will run out of room on the basic stamp. When I look at the memory map I see that over ¾ of the memory is used and I still have quite a bit of programming left to do. Is there an additional memory chip out there, or do I need to make my code efficient? Thanks!

You cannot extend the program memory of the BS2. You could get a BS2e or greater and get additional program slots for more code space. I prefer the "p" series Stamps as the additional slots can be used for program space or for DATA space (with the p-specific STORE instruction).
