If you want to take advantage of the popular PIC Microcontroller for your electronics projects, but are intimidated by the programming involved, your worries are over. This guide gives you a complete tutorial on the easy-to-use BASIC Stamp single-board computer, which runs a PIC Microcontroller, and doesnOt require you to do any assembly language programming. Written by the author of the widely-read "Stamp Applications" column for Nuts & Volts magazine, Programming and Customizing the BASIC Stamp Computer offers you a primer on basic electronics ... thorough yet accessible coverage of both BASIC Stamp I and II (from BASIC programs, to PBASIC toolboxes, to complete applications) ... a dozen projects that demonstrate various BASIC Stamp applications ... and an accompanying disk that provides all the software tools you need to begin developing PIC applications on your own.
