Programming And Customizing The Basic Stamp

CLASSIC GUIDE TO CUSTOMIZING BASIC STAMP FOR HOBBYISTS AND DESIGNERS If you want to take advantage of the popular PIC Microcontroller for your electronics projects, but are intimidated by the programming involved, your worries are over. Programming and Customizing the Basic Stamp, Second Edition gives you a comprehensive tutorial on the easy-to-use BASIC Stamp single-board computer, which runs a PIC Microcontroller, and doesn't require you to do any assembly language programming. This new edition moves you briskly from electronic foundations through BASIC Stamp "Boot Camps" and an intelligent traffic signal simulation to build a robotic bug with whisker sensors, a time/temperature display, and a data-logging thermometer. Written by Scott Edwards, the original author of the widely read "Stamp Applications" column for Nuts & Volts magazine, this easy-to-follow reference includes a CD that gives you all the IBM- compatible software tools necessary to begin developing Stamp applications.

CORBA author Ron Ben-Natan takes it to the Web with this hands-on package that propels you into the dynamic, interoperable future of the internet. You get complete information on using Java and CORBA to build object-oriented, distributed, cooperative systems with special emphasis on system security. CORBA on the Web shows you how to tap into legacy systems and application servers developed in any programming language for which an IDL mapping exists. You'll examine new technologies and products (IIOP, CORBA firewalls, and more) through a set of practical examples that dissolve the hype-fog. And quickly proceed, step by step, from the basics to advanced applications that today's end-users products are coming to expect.

Accompanying CD-ROM includes the BASIC Stamp programming manual (version 1.8) and appendices in PDF format as well as the BASIC STAMP 2 program and additional programs for other projects.

Microchip's PIC microcontroller is rapidly becoming the microcontroller of choice throughout the world.
