I need to see the code on the stamp, I had a computer crash and lost my BS2 and Boe Bot programs. [noparse]:([/noparse]

Thanks.

    There is no practical way to do this, sorry. Your program is stored in "byte code" compiled form in the EEPROM that's on the Stamp substrate. It's possible to remove the EEPROM from the Stamp and connect it to another circuit to read the contents. Unfortunately, all of the information about variable names, labels, even what instructions were used is not there. Many of the instructions are translated into simpler ones and that information is not stored. There is a 3rd party that claims to be able to take a Stamp and extract the program from it for a fee and they would do something like what I described ... all very time consuming and expensive and not very useful in the end (since they would still not have the names of the variables and labels).
