Analog Section:
Function generator - Sine, triangular, square wave • Frequency adjustable in 5 ranges from 1 to 100 kHz • Fine frequency adjust • Amplitude adjust • DC offset

Digital Section:
8 data switches • Two no bounce logic switches • Eight LED read outs , buffered • Clock frequency 1 to 100 kHz • Clock amplitude 5Vpp square wave

Potentiometers:
2 undedicated potentiometers 1k½ & 100 k½

Breadboards:
2 Breadboards, each containing 830 tie points (total 1,660)

Fast Track Construction:
Most of the components are on one PC board, eliminating all wires between the PC boards, pots, regulators and switches. Makes assembly easier and faster, eliminates errors. Kits require a minimum of construction and are fast and easy to assemble. The PC board that is shown below comes fully assembled and tested. Where lab time is eliminated SEMI kit is time and cost effective.

Parallax - 28132: Boe-Bot Full Kit

The Boe-Bot is the most popular Parallax robotic kit. A Boe-Bot consists of our popular Board of Education (BOE) mounted on the high-quality aluminum chassis. I/O projects are temporarily built on the front of the BOE. The Boe-Bot chassis has mounting holes and slots so you can add your own projects with screws,nuts and standoffs. The strength of this kit is also the 200-page educational Robotics!text. Chassis is brushed aluminum.

AUDIENCE: Educational and experimental.

POWER SUPPLY: Four AA 's for BASIC Stamp and motor control.

ASSEMBLY TOOLS: Angled cutters,small Phillips screwdriver,and 1 /4 " wrench.

TIME REQUIRED TO BUILD AND PROGRAM: 2 hours. Robotics! text includes many pre-written PBASIC programs that may be customized.

I /O COMPONENTS: LEDs, speaker, pushbutton, photoresistors, resistors and capacitors, infrared LEDs and receivers, and full whisker kit.

USE OF BASIC STAMP I /O PINS: Components are placed on the breadboard and may be moved around. Flexible use of I /O pins.

PACKAGE CONTENTS: BASIC Stamp 2 module,Boe-Bot kit,software, serial cable,Robotics!text with projects,and BASIC Stamp Manual Version 2.0.

Parallax - 28152: What's a Microcontroller? - Parts and Text

What 's a Microcontroller? is our most introductory and popular BASIC Stamp tutorial for education by introducing the essentials of writing and downloading a simple program for pushbuttons, LEDs,and a motor. This text is an ideal starting point for high- school age students,but also serves as a quick-read background reference for higher levels. Projects are shown in pictorial and schematic format. The first chapters cover use of the BASIC Stamp software,bread- boarding projects with LEDs and buttons. Advanced projects show how to interface a manual and digital potentiometer,how to use a photoresistor to activate servo movement (simulating a grocery store door). The text was written by Matt Gilliland of I-Four in Grass Valley,California (author of the Microcontroller Application Cookbook). The 127-page tutorial is available for purchase or download,and it may be duplicated for use in an educational environment.

The What 's a Microcontroller?Parts Kit includes all components necessary for the experiments: · Active components: DS1804 digital potentiometer,555 timer · Passive: LEDs, resistors (470 ohm,1K 10K,15K),capacitors (10 µF,1 µF,3300 µF), pushbuttons,100K potentiometer · Miscellaneous: DC hobby servo motor,wires

Parallax - 28156: Industrial Control Parts & Text

Industrial Control is a 198-page educational tutorial on process control with the BASIC Stamp. Industrial Control was written by Marty Hebel and Will Devenport, two electronics instructors from Southern Illinois University. Methods of process control (on-off,differential gap,proportional-integral-derivative) are demonstrated in detail using a simple desktop heater system consisting of a film canister with a temperature sensor and a heater. Heating drive is altered to demonstrate each concept. A fan provides an external disturbance to the closed-loop system. The use of high-voltage electricity to achieve the same concepts is also explained using solid-state relays. To demonstrate the dynamic nature of process control you 'll use our free StampPlot Lite!StampPlot is a handy datalogging and graphic utility for the experiment.

The Industrial Control Parts Kit includes the following:
· Active components: ADC0831 A/D converter,LM358 op-amp, transistors,infrared LEDs and phototransistor,switches
· Passive: LEDs (green,red,yellow),resistors (220,470,1K,10K ohm),capacitors (1,10 µF 16V),potentiometers (10K multi-turn pots)
· Miscellaneous: fan, two-hole drilled film canister
