Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Sensor Interfacing
Hi All
i don't know if my input on this matter is valid but i have started looking
into the new BASIC2 stamps that are available through www.parallax.com for
my ROV project.
As a complete novice with PICs and the programming language, i thought the
available equipment, technical support and the lots of free software and
tutorials sounded quite good.
It looks to me like the issues of interfacing multiple sensors and other i/o
could be handled with this type of device and the additional add-on boards
that they supply could be adapted for our purposes.
Has anybody got any experience with the stamps that could comment?
Best Regards
