Product Description
BASIC Stamp 2 Interpreter Chip (SSOP) Overview:
Build your own BASIC Stamp 2 with this surface mount (SSOP) 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 or those with limited PCB real estate, 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 through-hole package (#PBASIC2/P).
