Basic Stamp (BS2-IC) Revisions

Paul Sr.

I recently acquired another Stamp (BS2-IC) but unlike the others I have, it is not stamped Rev.G .

I am curious to know:
- How many versions of the BS2-IC have there been
- What are the differences
- Are there any incompatibilities (Hardware or Software)

Thanks,
Paul

The BS2 has been very solid -- revisions to it have come with component changes, usually when Microchip (that makes the PIC we use as the interpreter core) improves its device. When we make any changes we Rev the module. Don't worry, the BS2 you have in hand is fine.
