The BASIC Stamp 2pe serves as the brains inside of electronics projects and applications that require a programmable microcontroller. It is able to control and monitor timers, keypads, motors, sensors, switches, relays, lights, and more. Programming is performed in an easy-to-learn language called PBASIC.
All vital components (processor, clock source, memory, power regulator) are provided on the BS2pe’s tiny PCB; just connect power and go! Projects needing small, permanent soldering area for circuitry may benefit from combining the BS2pe with the Super Carrier Board (#27130).
The BS2pe is useful for those that have previous experience with the BS2 and are building battery-powered or data logging applications. The execution speed is slower than the BS2p and the sleep and nap wake-up interval is less than 1 ms, so battery life is extended significantly.
For customers who require a more powerful, multi-processing microcontroller, we recommend the Propeller 1 or Propeller 2 microcontroller.
