As I walked through our manufacturing facility today, the oven door was open and we were baking a fresh batch of BASIC Stamp 2 modules.
For more than three decades, Parallax has proudly manufactured and supported the BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller module—a platform that has introduced generations of engineers, educators, and innovators to embedded systems. First launched in 1995, the BASIC Stamp 2 continues to serve classrooms, legacy designs, and industrial applications with the same reliability and ease of use that made it a standard in the first place. In a technology landscape defined by rapid change and component obsolescence, we remain committed to long-term product support: as long as customers continue to purchase and rely on the BASIC Stamp 2, it will remain in production and fully supported.
I don’t know how many of these have been sold, but it’s in the millions.
Thank you to our customers who continue to buy the BASIC Stamp 2.
