FInalizing a product
ive always wondered....once i breadboard on the microcontroller and finalize a product... how do i duplicate it without having a stamp? i look on alot of RC cars and there is no microcontroller to throw commands out so i was just wondering how they do it?

Also, although the stamp module is often referred to as a microcontroller, only one of the components on the module is the actual microcontroller.
For finalizing your product, you would need to build/create some form of circuit assembly for your desired parts. For instance, you could use a stamp module, an OEM stamp module, or purchase the stamp components for use on a custom circuit board.
Most boards that you see are using components on a board, which is exactly what the stamp modules are.

Truly Understand the Fundamentals and the Path will be so much easier...
1. If you're only making one or two of them, you put a BS2 in each one. $50 each, and you're done.
2. If you're making thousands, or millions, of them, you contact Parallax, and design in an "OEM" version of the BS2. This is MUCH less expensive, and I believe they have volume discounts.
3. If that still costs too much, you go the 'native PIC' route (or native SX28 route), and program in PICBasic or SX/Basic. This costs a little more up front for the development system, but is the lowest cost to manufacture.
