Important Product Note: The Basic Analog and Digital Kit now uses a 10k ohm potentiometer instead of a 100k ohm pot.

Anywhere you see the instructions calling for a 100k ohm pot, use 10k pot instead. To determine which pot your kit has, look at the underside. If 103 is printed it's a 10k ohm pot; if 104 is printed, it's a 100k ohm pot

Basic Analog and Digital is a 162-page tutorial that covers the essentials of 8-bit A/D and D/A conversion using a BASIC Stamp^® module. The text introduces PBASIC commands for A/D conversion with resistor/capacitor circuits, interfacing an ADC0831 8-bit A/D converter, scaling analog outputs into meaningful digital values, analyzing time-varying signals, and using PWM as analog output. These concepts are conveyed using potentiometers, LEDs, speakers, photoresistors, and buttons. The text was written by Andrew Lindsay of California State University, Sacramento, and is available for purchase or download. The text may be duplicated for use in an educational environment with Parallax hardware. This kit requires a BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller and Board of Education Full Kit (#28103), sold separately.
