Can I use the Sensors and other with other chips???

Hey,
I want to order some special sensors from the Prallax website.
I would like to use them with my Atmel MEGA8535.. Will these sensors also work with those controllers or just with the ones from Parallax.
Thanks so much for an answer
-Marc

    Most of the sensors will work with other processors if the processor can convert the output the sensor gives to something the processor can understand. Which sensors are you interested in?

    A few...
    RFID
    Bluetooth
    Distance Sensor
    Compass
    GPS
    and some others...
    but i think i can do some configurations there... I just wanted to make sure, that there aren't any blockers in the chips, so i just can use it with the Parallax chips...
    Thanks

    This thread is being moved from the BASIC Stamp Forum to the Sandbox Forum.

    There is no special trickery used with the sensors, they will work with any microcontroller. The only thing is we cannot provide support on interfacing other microcontrollers to them,·but all the nessesary information is present in the documents and code examples we provide for our microcontrollers.
