Practical Transactional Systems in the Internet Age
Angelo Bellotti, Ian Gorton · 2002
Apart from a large reference chapter describing the Stamp’s Basic dialect, most of the book is presented in the form of concrete, self-contained projects—a capacitance meter, a PC-based frequency counter, a phone dialer, a reaction game, a pocket watch, a Morse-code keyer. A circuit diagram and a listing of the firmware accompany each project. The chapters are devoted to digital and analog I/O, serial communications, LCDs and keypads, and motors. More adventurous readers might wish to experiment with PIC, the microprocessor that forms the Basic Stamp’s core; a separate chapter provides introductory information. Minor problems, but an inspiring book
