hi,
I had a look at the parallax site. Thanks for this. Have you ever tried this stuff? Is there to do any microcontroller programming for getting all this stuff working?
its basically your choice: you can use it with a basic stamp (or other readymades) and program it in basic or you use a pic and program in assembler or c or basic or whatever languages are suported by certain pic types.
basic stamp is expensive but u dont need a programmer(hardware) and the software come for free (runs just on win and mac) pic is cheap but u need a programmer (hardware) and if u dont want to programm assembler or c then there are just a few free tools for a few types.
for prototyping and fast results i would go for one of the readymade basic programmable chips. for small series i would jump into the pic domain / its worth it.
cheers
