All microcontroller development boards — including the Arduino — owe a debt to the BASIC Stamp. It is the grandfather to the Arduino, and it is very, very old.

The automated parking system is developed using 2 Arduino Uno microcontrollers in combination with the Basic Stamp 2 microcontroller. Check the README file for more details.

The BASIC Stamp Discovery Kit ($160), for example, comes with a software manual and the “What's a Microcontroller” book as well as a photo sensor, servo motor, piezoelectric speaker, a 7-segment ...

BASIC Stamp became popular since the hardware was relatively inexpensive compared to most microcontroller platforms of the time. $139USD (inflation-adjusted to 2022, almost $400) in the 1990s got you ...

All microcontroller development boards — including the Arduino — owe a debt to the BASIC Stamp. It is the grandfather to the Arduino, and it is very, very old.

The BASIC Stamp modules cannot store many variables in memory, but the available memory should suffice to get you started. Parallax has many excellent books about microcontrollers, signals, sensors, ...
