All vital components (processor, clock source, memory, power regulator) are provided on the BS1's tiny PCB; just connect power and go! The BASIC Stamp 1 (BS1-IC) is an ideal fit for applications that don't require the speed, I/O, and memory of the BASIC Stamp 2 series of microcontrollers.
Basic Stamp Programming Kits (4 products) - Our most popular BASIC Stamp microcontroller is the BS2-IC module. Widely used in education, hobby, and industry, this module has enough program space, execution speed, and I/O pins for many applications. Combined with our Board of Education platform and the What's a Microcontroller Parts and Text Kit, you have a bona fide "Getting Started" kit for microcontroller programming and experimentation.
Basic Stamp Development Boards (13 products) - Low-cost through-hole carrier boards are still available separately. This board provides a wire-wrap or solder area for permanent BASIC Stamp 1 projects, a 9-volt battery clip, and programming 3 pin header connection.
Javelin Stamp (2 products) - This Javelin Stamp Demo Board is used for experimental hardware and software development with the Javelin Stamp module. The Javelin Stamp is programmed with the Java based language. Also with dual serial ports, you can demonstrate the background UART capability and connect various RS-232 devices; while still remaining connected to the IDE for fast proto-typing.
Propeller Range (25 products) - Our range of Parallax Propeller based products. Including programming kits, prototype boards, propeller accessories and Propeller chips.
Rolling Robots (7 products) - Low-cost through-hole carrier boards are still available separately. This board provides a wire-wrap or solder area for permanent BASIC Stamp 1 projects, a 9-volt battery clip, and programming 3 pin header connection.
Walking Robots - The Penguin robot is a precision-machined 4" tall biped with an embedded BASIC Stamp 2px24 microcontroller. The Penguin walks forward with a tilt-stride action and turns by sweeping both feet on the ground in opposite directions. This basic biped design works best in the Penguin's small scale.
Robot Base Kit - The Robot Base Kit is a plywood platform kit for the 12V Motor Mount and Wheel Kit (#27971) and the Caster Wheel Kit (#28971). With this kit you will be able to build a nearly complete robot. You can then add on your choice of processor and sensors (sold separately).
Motors/Servos & Wheels (10 products) - Finally your robot can have the mobility and style it deserves! With the Motor Mount and Wheel Kit, powerful 12 VDC motors are combined with precisely machined aluminum hardware to provide the power, strength, and beauty demanded by your mid-sized robot. All custom parts are CNC machined in-house at Parallax headquarters in Rocklin, CA.
Motor/Servo Controllers (4 products) - The Parallax HB-25 Motor Controller is our single best solution for DC motor control. This module is dependable and highly-compatible with any microcontroller that can generate a servo compatible pulse. In the simplest sense the HB-25 allows a DC Motor to be controlled much like a Continuous Rotation Servo.
Communication (14 products) - The Digi XBee 802.15.4 modules are the easiest-to-use, most reliable and cost-effective RF devices we’ve experienced. The 802.15.4 XBee modules provide two friendly modes of communication – a simple serial method of transmit/receive or a framed mode providing advanced features.
Sensors (48 products) - This is a sensor sampler kit that was put together to allow for the most versatile use of different sensors. The kit includes the most popular sensors that Parallax offers, including the PING))), PIR, and the multi-axis sensors; which can be used together or independently to create a elaborate project.
RFID Tag & Smart Card Readers (11 products) - This handy RFID kit matches our popular RFID Reader with various assorted tags. The kit includes the following items, RFID Card Reader USB, RFID 54mm x 85mm Rectangle Tag, RFID 50mm Round Tag, RFID Blue Eye Key Fob Tag, RFID Disc Tag 25mm. Serial version is also available.
Displays (4 products) - If you’re looking for a truly unique display, the Noritake GU112X16G-7003 Vacuum Fluorescent Display provides a standard 2 x 16 character mode and also supports graphics at 112 x 16 pixels.
Parallax Kits - Soldering is required for this kit. AVRSimon is a do-it-yourself game kit based on the 1978 Milton Bradley flying saucer-shaped game of Simon in which players repeat sequences of light and sound.
Parallax Books & Books with Parts (31 products) - The What’s a Microcontroller? text answers the question “What’s a Microcontroller?” by showing students how they can design their own customized, intelligent inventions using the BASIC Stamp® module. We are also selling other Basic Stamp/Javelin Stamp books, Propeller Books, sensor books, robotics books and SX Development books.
CCFL Tubes (11 products) - Cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) enhance the visual appearance or lighting characteristics of your microcontroller projects, especially robots, interactive art exhibits, and entertainment projects. CCFL tubes are packaged in a 4-pack. Also available is the 12V Power Inverter for CCFL.
Solar Panels (7 products) - This easy-to-use solar panel is a great addition to your next solar powered project. This solar cell provides approximately 18V DC in direct sunlight at up to 10W (approximately 555 mA). Multiple units can be chained serial and/or parallel to increase voltage and current.
Breadboard Adapters (3 products) - The Parallax PS/2 to Breadboard Adapter makes it convenient to connect a PS/2 mouse or keyboard to breadboards, protoboards and perfboards with 1/10-inch hole spacing. Designed with the Propeller Education Kit in mind, this adapter simplifies connecting PS/2 mice and keyboards to the PE Platform’s Propeller Microcontroller.
Components (7 products) - This phototransistor responds to visible light as well as the lower infrared range. While not a drop-in replacement for a CdS-cell photoresistor, this RoHS compliant phototransistor can be used in many similar circuits and applications.
Hardware (3 products) - This is the type of hex button-cap screw that we use in the Stingray Robot kit; it is a small screw commonly used to install the plates and chassis of the Stingray Robot together.
