    Hello,

    The Discovery Kit is great if your new to BASIC Stamps and especially to Microcontrollers. It starts off at the beginning and walks you through the basics right on up to things like controlling a servo. The Board Of Education is also used in all of our other Educational Materials, so it’s easy to expand or move on to more advanced educational kits.

    The Stamp Works kit includes our Professional Development Board and while it contains a lot of useful information it is really designed for someone with BASIC Stamp or Microcontroller experience. The manual focuses more on jumping right into projects but doesn’t cover as much on the inner workings, except as new concepts are introduced.

    You can download a PDF of both manuals and decide where your skill level is. Bear in mind that the Stamp Works Kit is currently back ordered. Take care.

    Mandril,

    Don’t forget to check out the additional educational courses for when you do finish the “What’s a Microcontroller?” tutorial included with the Discovery Kit. I have provided a link to them below. Take care.

    Mandril,

    Not sure I understand your question. The Discovery Kit includes the “What’s a Microcontroller?” tutorial and all the parts needed to complete it. If you’re looking for distributors in your country, please see the following link which lists our distributors by country. I hope this helps. Take care.
