How difficult is it to program the BASIC Stamp?
When compared to other programmable microcontrollers, the BASIC Stamp I and II is perhaps the easiest to use because of its simple, but powerful, language structure and straight forward method of downloading and debugging. If you have some experience programming in BASIC, C or Pascal, you should find the learning process with the BASIC Stamp to be a simple one. If, however, you have never had any programming experience, you may have to spend some extra time studying the examples and application notes before you feel comfortable with the BASIC Stamp.
