Build your own BASIC Stamp 2 with this through-hole (DIP) interpreter chip and other standard parts. All the control and ease of programming that you have grown to appreciate in the BASIC Stamp 2 module (#BS2-IC) is available with this chip and a few other components. Recommended for high volume applications, the BASIC Stamp 2 interpreter chip can be used on your own PCB as an OEM solution.
The three main components needed to build your own BASIC Stamp 2 are: 1) this PBASIC Interpreter Chip, 2) an EEPROM, 3) and a resonator; see Related Products.
We also offer the interpreter chip in a surface mount package (#PBASIC2CI/SS).
This interpreter chip (PBASIC2/P) is the replacement for the former interpreter chip (PBASIC2C/P). No firmware changes or electrical changes are required in designs using this part as opposed to the previous part; they are fully compatible with each other.
