Program the Scribbler Robot
| The Scribbler Robot has a reprogrammable “brain” – the BASIC Stamp® 2 microcontroller. Connect your Scribbler to your personal computer with the serial cable provided. Then, write your own program with your choice of free software. Download your program, disconnect the serial cable, and your Scribbler is ready to carry out its new mission. |

 You can automatically reload the original factory Demo Program any time with the Restore utility on the Scribbler Software CD. Visit the Downloads for more information.
Programming the Scribbler Robot requires a PC running Windows 2000/XP and an available serial port, or a USB port with a Parallax USB to Serial (RS-232) Adapter.
Program with Graphics
Build programs in pictures instead of words with the Scribbler Program Maker GUI (Graphical User Interface). Point and click to select different tiles, place them in your program, and set their actions. Control the Scribbler Robot’s motors, lights, and sensors, and even play music on its speaker. Once you load your program into the Scribbler with a single click, you can unplug the programming cable. The Scribbler does not need to stay connected to your computer to carry out your mission. Fun for roboticists age 8 and up, but powerful enough to keep even experienced programmers engaged.
Program with Text
Write your own programs for your Scribbler Robot with the BASIC Stamp Editor. The straightforward PBASIC programming language gives you direct access to your robot’s sensors, actuators, and drive motors. Load your custom program into the on-board BASIC Stamp microcontroller then disconnect the cable. Once reprogrammed, the Scribbler Robot does not need to maintain the computer connection. You can easily re-load the original factory Demo Program which is included on the Parallax Software CD.
