BASIC Stamps are the easy-to-use microcontrollers that
have been the favorite choice of amateur and professional roboticists
since 1992. You plug it into your computer's serial or USB port to program it
with a simple BASIC programming language.

THE SUMOBOT CAN: Check our Links page for a list of local robot tournaments which may include Mini-Sumo, or hold your own competition!
For somebody getting started with microcontrollers, designing the circuit can be the most challenging part of building a project. With this book you’ll be able to assemble a circuit casserole from a collection of ingredients. Suppose you wanted to automate your greenhouse. The book includes examples of controlling solenoid valves with solid-state relays (water distribution), simple DC-motor control with H-bridge circuits (roof vents), linear temperature sensors, humidity sensors and photocells. Cook up an application that waters the plants in the morning, opens the greenhouse vents when it’s too hot or humid and powers the microcontroller from solar energy! Written for those of us who know what we want to accomplish, have a pretty good idea of how to write the program, but need a resource on how to physically put the circuit together. Learn how to connect your controller to the following input devices: Switches, Photocells, Phototransistors, Solar Cells, Thermistors, Potentiometers, Hall-effect Sensors, Microphones, Humidity Sensors, and learn how to control the following devices with you microcontroller: LEDs, Incandescent Lamps, Bipolar Transistors, MOSFET Transistors, Optoisolators, Mechanical Relays, Solid State Relays, DC Motors, DC Servos, AC Motors, Solenoids, Speakers, Digital Potentiometers, and Operational Amplifiers. Students and educators will find the book to be an instant reference of circuits. For electronic designers it provides a variety of simple circuits and interface code that can be customized for more advanced uses.
This new edition moves you briskly from electronic foundations through BASIC Stamp "Boot Camps" and an intelligent traffic signal simulation to build a robotic bug with whisker sensors, a time/temperature display, and a data-logging thermometer. Written by Scott Edwards, the original author of the widely read "Stamp Applications" column for Nuts & Volts magazine, this easy-to-follow reference includes a CD that gives you all the IBM- compatible software tools necessary to begin developing Stamp applications. Programming and Customizing the BASIC Stamp Computer offers you:
Thomas Petruzzellis presents a few introductory chapters designed to bring you up to speed and then proceeds to showcase multiple projects - from building basic serial communication to a 12-channel Internet-based alarm reporting system. Many of the projects in this book are complete and self-contained, but they also could be used together with other projects to form more complex projects and systems. With the help of detailed schematics, informative photos, and the included CD-ROM, STAMP 2 : Communications and Control Projects leads you step by step through 24 communications-specific projects. As a result, you'll gain a firm understanding of STAMP 2 and its programming methodologies -- as well as the ability to customize it for your own needs and operating system.
Microcontroller Projects with Basic Stamps covers introductory material and advanced projects including: reading buttons, driving relays, PWM output, a capacitance meter, homebrew ADC, interfacing a EEPROM, a PC-based frequency meter, interfacing standard and serial LCDs, using analog keypads, several games, a logic probe, and a data logger. Comes with a CD-ROM with Parallax software, Basic Stamp I simulator, and PIC programmer software. This new edition has been updated with information relevant to the newest Basic Stamp, the BS2P, and revised to present more advanced projects. The result is a superb hands-on teaching text with dozens of completely new projects in addition to enhanced projects that take advantage of its latest features. Each chapter introduces a new concept through a simple project followed by project enhancements which demonstrate improved solutions. Readers get complete, detailed instructions for building their own test instruments, robot motor controls, Morse code keyers, infrared remote controls, a bridge that lets a Stamp connected to a PC communicate via the Internet, and more projects. Throughout the book, the author explains and teaches with his well-known clarity and thoroughness.

If
you think one robot is interesting, wait until you see two of them battling
for control Sumo-style! The new SumoBot is a competition-ready robot
designed within the Robot Mini-Sumo Tournament rules. This little pusher
will locate and knock its opponent right out of the ring while detecting the
outside circle should an escape move be necessary. Here are the design
specifications:
Matt Gilliland’s Microcontroller
Applications Cookbook is a wide-ranging collection of 113 interface circuits designed
around the BASIC Stamp II. It is the beginner's sourcebook for "real-world"
machine control.
Programming and Customizing the Basic
Stamp, Second Edition gives you a comprehensive tutorial on the easy-to-use BASIC
Stamp single-board computer, which runs a PIC Microcontroller, and doesn't require you to
do any assembly language programming.
STAMP 2 : Communications and Control
Projects is a great book for learning how to use the powerful BASIC Stamp 2 (BS2)
microprocessor with its amazing capability for building complex projects more quickly and
less expensively than anything before. You can pick up some sophisticated communications
concepts and techniques while building projects that range from very simple to complex.
And they're all fun!
Microcontroller Projects with Basic Stamps is a great way to learn
about Basic Stamp programming. This book teaches the principles and processes of
microcontroller development by demonstrating how to program the tiny Basic Stamp. The
companion CD-ROM contains a Basic Stamp emulator and a tool that converts the your Basic
program to the assembly language required to run a PIC microcontroller.
