<li class="Checklist" value="1">Use the silkscreen pictures that show the three prominent chips on the BASIC Stamp to determine how to orient it before inserting it into its socket. There is also a small semi-circular notch at in the top-center of the BASIC Stamp module that indicates which way is “up.” Match this reference notch to the notch in the socket.</li>
|
||||
<li class="Checklist" value="2">After correctly orienting the 24-pin BASIC Stamp module, gently insert it into its socket as shown at (1) in the picture below.</li>
|
||||
<li class="Checklist" value="3">Make sure that each pin is seated in its corresponding socket hole, then apply firm downward pressure with your thumb. The module should sink about ¼ of an inch (~0.6 mm) into the socket, and only the flared portion of each BASIC Stamp leg should be visible above the socket.</li>
|
||||
<li class="Checklist" value="4">Visually inspect the legs to make sure each pin is in its socket and that no pins are folded underneath the module.</li>

<h1>Latency Timer Settings</h1>
|

<p>If you are using a BASIC Stamp development board with a USB connector, or a serial board with a Parallax USB to Serial Adapter, you may need to adjust your computer's latency timer settings if any of these are true:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li value="1">The <a href="RunIdTest.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0">Run/Identify Test</a> shows no Device Type, but a "Yes" in both the Loopback and Echo columns, or a "Yes" only in the Echo column.</li>
|
||||
<li value="2">You have passed the Run/Identify test but when you try to download a program with Run/Run, you get a "No BASIC Stamps Found" message. </li>
|
||||
<li value="3">You are able to download short programs, but not long ones. </li>
|
||||
<li value="4">You are able to program intermittently, but sometimes it fails.</li>

On some computers, the internal USB hub will freeze when disconnecting a USB 2.0 device from a USB 3.0 port. This may cause all USB ports on the computer to become unresponsive, requiring a reboot of the computer to remedy the situation. System updates from your computer manufacturer may correct the problem.USB 3.0 ports can sometimes be identified by a blue tab inside the socket.<br /><img src="../Resources/Images/USB_3_258x115.jpg" title="USB 3.0 ports have a blue tab inside." alt="USB 3.0 ports have a blue tab inside." style="padding-top: 5px;width: 258;height: 115;" /></span></span>

<h1>Power Supplies</h1>
|
||||
<p>Parallax BASIC Stamp Development Boards may have either a barrel jack connector, 9 V battery clip connector, or both (as does the Board of Education.) This page gives options for both types of power connectors.</p>
|
||||
<h2>For Boards with a Barrel Jack Connector <![CDATA[ ]]></h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The two most common power supply options used with this connector are wall-mount DC power supply, and battery holders.</p>
|
||||
<h3>Wall-mount DC Power Supplies</h3>
|
||||
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
|
||||
<li class="Checklist" value="1">Plug: it must have a 2.1 mm center-positive barrel plug. Look for this symbol, indicating the positive connection is in the center of the plug:</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p class="PlainTextIndent">
|
||||
<img src="../Resources/Images/CenterPos.png" />
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
|
||||
<li class="Checklist" value="1">Output current: wall-mount power supplies must have a DC (direct current) output. Look for a statement that indicates VDC output or uses this symbol: <img src="../Resources/Images/OutputDCsmall.png" style="font-weight: bold;" />. For example:</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<div class="ListIndent">
|
||||
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
|
||||
<li value="1"><b>OUTPUT: 7.5 VDC 1000 mA</b>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li value="2"><b>OUTPUT: 7.5 V</b>
|
||||
<img src="../Resources/Images/OutputDCsmall.png" style="font-weight: bold;" /><b>1.4 A</b>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
|
||||
<li class="Checklist" value="1">Output voltage: The power supply's output voltage must be compatible with the voltage rating on your board. For example, the Board of Education requires 6 to 9 VDC. </li>
|
||||
<li class="Checklist" value="2">Input voltage and current: Wall-mount power supplies must be compatible with the frequency and amplitude of the AC power at the wall outlet you are using. This may vary depending on the country you live in. In the US and Canada, the input should be compatible with 120 VAC, 60 Hz.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Parallax carries power supplies compatible with BASIC Stamp development boards. For example, the 7.5 V, 1 amp supply (#750-00009) is compatible with the Board of Education. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">
|
||||
<img src="../Resources/Images/7.5Vsupply.png" />
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>Battery Holders</h3>
|
||||
<p>Like wall-mount supplies, battery holders must have a 2.1 mm center-positive plug. However, many battery holders don't have a symbol indicating whether or not the plug is center-positive. Use a voltmeter to test any battery holder of unknown origins. A 4 AA cell battery holder with a 2.1 mm center-positive plug is available from Parallax (#700-00038); this is the one included in the <a href="http://www.parallax.com/go/boebot" target="_blank" title="Open website in new window." alt="Open website in new window.">Boe-Bot Robot Kit</a>.</p>

|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>For Boards with Battery Clip Connector </h2>
|
||||
<h3>9-Volt Batteries</h3>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">9 V Alkaline or rechargeable batteries with a snap-connector are fine. For best results, rechargeable batteries should be rated for 100 mAh (milliamp hours) or higher.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Not all chargers work with all types of batteries. Make sure your charger is recommended for the type of battery you are using. Follow all battery and charger instructions and caution statements.</p>
|
||||
<h3>9 V Battery Extension</h3>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The figure below shows a DC supply and a 9 V battery extension that can be used with battery clip connectors, such as the one on the BASIC Stamp HomeWork Board. Read the CAUTION statement below the picture.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">
|
||||
<img src="../Resources/Images/BattExtend.png" />
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3> Beware of Universal Adapters and Reversed Supply Terminals!</h3>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The picture below shows a common mistake that should be avoided with universal adapters. Many of these allow you to reverse the terminals on the 9 V battery extension. Although it cannot hurt the BASIC Stamp, Board of Education, or HomeWork Board, it can destroy a Parallax Standard Servo connected to Vin in a matter of seconds. The only system that can protect the servo from this mistake is a Board of Education that has a jumper between the servo ports, with that jumper set to Vdd.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">
|
||||
<img src="../Resources/Images/TipPolarity.png" />
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>Beware of "Battery Replacers"</h3>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Many battery replacers are designed to supply appliances with low current draw. With current ratings in the neighborhood of 10 mA, their output capacities are insufficient for many of the activities in the Stamps in Class texts. For example, two LEDs connected to 220-ohm resistors draw a total of 14.5 mA, and that definitely won't work with a "battery replacer."</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"> Note: It's pretty easy to tell when a circuit is drawing more current than the supply can deliver because the Power LED on the Board of Education flickers and/or goes dim. On the HomeWork Board, the "Running" LED may flicker if the power drops low enough to cause the BASIC Stamp to reset and restart the program.</p>

On some computers, the internal USB hub will freeze when disconnecting a USB 2.0 device from a USB 3.0 port. This may cause all USB ports on the computer to become unresponsive, requiring a reboot of the computer to remedy the situation. System updates from your computer manufacturer may correct the problem.USB 3.0 ports can sometimes be identified by a blue tab inside the socket.<br /><img src="../Resources/Images/USB_3_258x115.jpg" title="USB 3.0 ports have a blue tab inside." alt="USB 3.0 ports have a blue tab inside." style="padding-top: 5px;width: 258;height: 115;" /></span></span>

<h1>Connection Troubleshooting</h1>
|

<p>This is the "triage" area for troubleshooting the programming connection between your computer and your BASIC Stamp development board.</p>
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<p>Let's rule out the most common causes of communications failure first:</p>
|
||||
<ul>

(See <a href="PowerSupplies.htm" target="" title="Open "Power Supplies" in popup window" alt="Open "Power Supplies" in popup window" class="MCXref_0">Power Supplies</a> for options). If your board has a power switch, make sure it is switched on and the power indicator is lit. If you are using a 9V battery, try a fresh one. If you are using a battery pack, make sure the batteries are all inserted into the pack correctly; try fresh batteries. If you are using a wall-mount supply, make sure the wall outlet is not turned off at a wall switch. If you have a voltmeter, use it to measure the voltage supplied by the battery pack or wall-mount to rule out defective power supply hardware.</span></span>

<h1>USB Resets BASIC Stamp</h1>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">A BASIC Stamp connected to a PC via a USB can be reset by the USB connection. This can occur with USB-based boards, and with serial boards using the USB to Serial Adapter. Resets can happen when:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li value="1">Connecting the board to the USB port.</li>
|
||||
<li value="2">Disconnecting the board from the USB port, at either end of the USB cable. </li>
|
||||
<li value="3">Connecting or disconnecting another USB device on a port adjacent to your BASIC Stamp board's USB port.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The resets are caused by the PC's operating system checking to see if a new plug-and-play device (such as a mouse) was just connected. Disconnecting your board may cause a single reset. Reconnecting typically causes several resets in a row during the first few seconds.</p>
|
||||
<p class="Tip" MadCap:autonum="Tip:  "><span class="autonumber"><span class="TipSpan">Tip:  </span></span>If you are using the USB to Serial Adapter, resets are easy to avoid. After connecting your board to your PC the first time, always disconnect and reconnect at the serial (9-pin) end of the USB to Serial Adapter. Leaving the Adapter connected to your PC keeps the virtual communications port open, preventing an unwanted reset.</p>
|
||||
<h2>What BASIC Stamp Resets Do</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"> Each time a BASIC Stamp is reset:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li value="1">The program execution restarts from the beginning of code. </li>
|
||||
<li value="2">All variables are set to their initial value (zero by default).</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Make sure to keep this in mind while working on your BASIC Stamp projects. Some programs have variable values that you do not want to lose when you disconnect or reconnect your board to the PC. This is common with datalogging activities.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Datalogging Activities</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Some Stamps in Class activities use BASIC Stamp programs that log sensor data. Typically, the programmed board is disconnected from the PC, and taken someplace to record data with sensors. Afterward, the board is reconnected to the PC so the sensor data can be displayed on the Debug Terminal or saved to the PC for later use. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">If a program only records sensor data in RAM as variable values, a USB-based board will lose that data when reconnecting to the PC because the BASIC Stamp will reset. So, USB-based boards must stay connected to the computer with programs that hold data RAM as variable values. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">For USB-based boards and datalogging programs with applications where the board is disconnected and reconnected to the PC, the program should:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li value="1">Save values to EEPROM</li>
|
||||
<li value="2">Use a one-second delay at the beginning of the program.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2>Save Values to EEPROM using <span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span>, <span class="keyword_in_text">WRITE</span>, and <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> <![CDATA[ ]]></h2>
|

<p class="PlainText">A simple solution for retaining values between resets is to save them in portions of the EEPROM program memory that are not used to store the actual program. Since the program is stored starting at the highest memory address, the low memory addresses are usually available for storing these values.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Use the <span class="keyword_in_text">WRITE</span> command to store values to addresses in BASIC Stamp EEPROM memory. Then, use <span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span> commands to retrieve those values from EEPROM, even after connecting it to the PC. You can build <span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span> commands into your main program, or even run a separate program to retrieve those values. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"> Pre-initialized values can also be stored in EEPROM with the <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive. </p>

<h2>Prevent Unexpected Bugs by Starting Your Programs with a One-Second Delay</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">If your application requires reconnecting your USB board to the PC while the BASIC Stamp program is running, always add a one-second delay to the beginning of your program. Examples of one-second delays for BS2 modules include: <span class="code_in_text">PAUSE 1000</span> and <span class="code_in_text">FREQOUT Pin, 1000, <i>Frequency</i></span>. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"> Adding a one-second delay at the start of your program could prevent these two unwanted behaviors:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li value="1">If the BASIC Stamp transmits serial messages immediately after these resets, the operating system could mistake it for a serial mouse or other plug-and play-device.</li>
|
||||
<li value="2"> If your program advances a value stored in EEPROM with each reset, the value will increase by one or more (ten is not uncommon) each time you connect your USB BASIC Stamp board to a PC.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Again, the one-second delay at the very beginning of the program prevents these issues. Other ways to prevent them include leaving the power off until one second after you have connected your USB board, or pressing and holding the reset button for that time.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Programs that Use the Reset Button</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Some programs use your board's Reset button to advance a value stored in EEPROM with each reset, or use the reset to trigger a "record" or "playback" mode.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">For reset button applications with USB boards, it's best to design the application assuming the reset will happen when you disconnect and reconnect the board to the PC. Then, make sure to press and hold the reset button each time you disconnect or reconnect your board. This will ensure that a single, expected reset occurs, and not multiple resets as can happen with reconnection.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This example program uses a <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive to pre-initialize the value stored by EEPROM address 0 to 255 when the program is loaded. The <span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span> command fetches this value from EEPROM and adds 1 to it. For a byte variable, 255 + 1 = 0 since 255 is the largest it can store, so it rolls over to zero. Taking the remainder of this <span class="code_in_text">eeVal/2</span> results in either 0 or 1. The <span class="keyword_in_text">WRITE</span> command stores this modified value back to EEPROM address 0. Then, the <span class="keyword_in_text">ON…GOTO…</span> command uses <span class="code_in_text">eeVal</span>, which stores 0 or 1. With each reset of the BASIC Stamp, the value advances from 0 to 1, to 0 again, and so on…</p><pre class="SICcode">

<h2>Check for the PC Connection with <span class="keyword_in_text">SERIN</span></h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Another useful strategy is to write a program routine that checks to see if the board is connected to the PC. Then the program can make decisions based on this information. For example, "if not connected, then log data” and “if connected, then display data.”</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The code example below demonstrates one way to do this. It displays a message to press any key, then a <span class="keyword_in_text">SERIN</span> command that waits for a message from P16 (the programming port) for 2000 ms.

<p class="PlainText">BASIC Stamp microcontroller modules are like tiny single-board computers.  Many projects that require an embedded system with some level of intelligence can use a BASIC Stamp module as the controller. Each BASIC Stamp module contains a PBASIC Interpreter chip, internal memory (RAM and EEPROM), a 5-volt regulator, a number of general-purpose I/O pins (TTL-level, 0-5 volts), and a set of built-in commands for math and I/O pin operations.  </p>

<h1>Connection Schematics</h1>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">We recommend using a Parallax development board and cable for programming BASIC Stamp modules. When these items are not available, you may create your own board by duplicating the following diagrams with your own circuits and cables.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Be very careful to follow these diagrams closely; it is quite common for programming problems with the BASIC Stamp to be a result of a poorly made custom cable or programming connections on your applications board. For example, with the programming connections for all the BS2 models, it is possible to reverse a couple of wires and still get positive results using some of the "connection" tests and yet you still will not be able to communicate with the BASIC Stamp. It is vital that you check your connections with a meter and verify the pin numbering to avoid problems like this.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Programming and Run-time Communication Connections for all BS2 models</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Though it is not shown, power must be connected to the BASIC Stamp to program it. Note that the programming connections for the 40-pin BS2p40 are the same as for the 24-pin BS2 models.</p>

<h3>BASIC Stamp 1 Serial Adapter</h3>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Starting with Version 2.1, the BASIC Stamp Editor/Compiler supports programming
|
||||
BASIC Stamp 1 modules through a standard serial connection using the adapter shown above and below. The adapter translates the voltage
|
||||
and mechanical differences of the BS1 to be compatible with the serial port. For convenience, Parallax
|
||||
manufactures the BASIC Stamp 1 Serial Adapter (#27111) that plugs into the end of a serial cable and connects
|
||||
to the programming header of the BS1.</p>

<h2>Explanation</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The BS2p, BS2pe, and BS2px is available as a 24-pin module that is pin-compatible
|
||||
with the BS2, BS2e, and BS2sx. Also available is a 40-pin module called the BS2p40
|
||||
with an additional 16 I/O pins (for a total of 32). The BS2p40's extra, or
|
||||
<i>auxiliary</i>, I/O pins can be accessed in the same manner as the main I/O pins
|
||||
(by using the IDs 0 to 15) but only after issuing an <span class="keyword_in_text">AUXIO</span> or <span class="keyword_in_text">IOTERM 1</span> command. The <span class="keyword_in_text">AUXIO</span> command causes the BASIC
|
||||
Stamp to affect the auxiliary I/O pins instead of the main I/O pins in all further
|
||||
code until the <span class="keyword_in_text">MAINIO</span> or <span class="keyword_in_text">IOTERM 0</span> command is reached, or the BASIC Stamp
|
||||
is reset or power-cycled. <span class="keyword_in_text"> AUXIO</span> is also used when setting the DIRS register
|
||||
for auxiliary IO pins on the BS2p40.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The following example illustrates this:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
HIGH 0
|
||||
AUXIO
|
||||
LOW 0
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The first line of the above example will set I/O pin 0 of the main I/O pins
|
||||
(physical pin 5) high. Afterward, the <span class="keyword_in_text">AUXIO</span> command tells the BASIC
|
||||
Stamp that all commands following it should affect the auxiliary I/O pins.
|
||||
The following <span class="keyword_in_text">LOW</span> command will set I/O pin 0 of the auxiliary I/O pins
|
||||
(physical pin 21) low. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Note that the main I/O and auxiliary I/O pins are independent of each other;
|
||||
the states of the main I/O pins remain unchanged while the program affects the
|
||||
auxiliary I/O pins, and vice versa.</p>
|
||||
<h3> Reducing Power Consumption </h3>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">When the BASIC Stamp is reset all RAM variables, including DIRS and OUTS are
|
||||
cleared to zero. This goes for main and auxiliary pins. On the BS2p24,
|
||||
BS2pe, and BS2px the auxiliary pins from the interpreter chip are not connected to
|
||||
physical IO pins on the BASIC Stamp. While not connected to anything, these
|
||||
pins do have pull-ups activated, effectively connecting them to Vdd. After
|
||||
reset, reading the auxiliary pins from a BS2p24, BS2pe, or BS2px will return all 1s.
|
||||
For lowest possible current consumption where required, you may set the BS2p24,
|
||||
BS2pe, and BS2px auxiliary pins as output low.</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
Setup:
|
||||
AUXIO ' select AUXIO pins
|
||||
OUTS = $0000 ' force outputs low
|
||||
DIRS = $FFFF ' make (unconnected) pins outputs
|
||||
MAINIO ' back to MAINIO group

|
||||
<h2>Explanation<br /></h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">When you press a button or flip a switch, the contacts make or break a connection.
|
||||
A brief (1 to 20-ms) burst of noise occurs as the contacts scrape and bounce against
|
||||
each other. By scanning an input within a loop to ensure that the contact remains
|
||||
in a specified state for a minimum duration, spurious multiple inputs caused by
|
||||
contact noise can be eliminated. The <span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON </span>instruction helps prevent this
|
||||
noise from being interpreted as more than one switch action; this is the function
|
||||
of the <i>Delay</i> parameter. (For a demonstration of switch bounce, see the demo
|
||||
program for the <a href="COUNT.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0">COUNT</a> instruction.) <i>Delay</i>, combined
|
||||
with the <i>Rate</i> parameter, allows the programmer to control the rate at which
|
||||
multiple inputs are accepted by the BASIC Stamp.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span> also lets PBASIC react to a button press the way your computer
|
||||
keyboard does to a key press. When you press a key, a character immediately appears
|
||||
on the screen. If you hold the key down, there's a delay, then a rapid-fire stream
|
||||
of characters appears on the screen. <span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span>'s auto-repeat function can be
|
||||
set up to work much the same way. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span> is designed for use inside a program loop. Each time through the
|
||||
loop, <span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span> checks the state of the specified pin. When it first matches
|
||||
<i>DownState</i>, <span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span> begins the <i>Delay</i> countdown for auto-repeat.
|
||||
Then, in accordance with <i>TargetState</i>, it either branches to address
|
||||
(TargetState = 1) or doesn't (TargetState = 0).</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">If the switch stays in <i>DownState</i>, <span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span> counts the number of
|
||||
program loops that execute. When this count equals <i>Delay</i>, <span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span>once again triggers the action specified by <i>TargetState</i> and <i>Address</i>. Hereafter,
|
||||
if the switch remains in <i>DownState</i>, <span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span> waits <i>Rate</i> number
|
||||
of cycles between actions. The <i>Workspace</i> variable is used by <span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span>
|
||||
to keep track of how many cycles have occurred since the pin switched to
|
||||
<i>TargetState</i> or since the last auto-repeat.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span> does not stop program execution. In order for its delay and auto
|
||||
repeat functions to work properly, <span class="keyword_in_text">BUTTON</span> must be executed from within a
|
||||
program loop.</p>

<h2>Explanation</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The <span class="keyword_in_text">COMPARE</span> command enables or disables the built-in comparator
|
||||
hardware on the BS2px's I/O pins P0, P1, and P2. I/O pins P1 and P2 are
|
||||
the comparator inputs and P0 is optionally the comparator result output
|
||||
pin.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">By default, the comparator feature is disabled. Using the <span class="keyword_in_text">COMPARE</span> command with a <i>Mode</i> argument of 1 or 2 enables the comparator feature
|
||||
(using input pins P1 and P2) and returns the result of the comparison in
|
||||
<i>Result</i>. If <i>Mode</i> is 1, the result of the comparison is also
|
||||
output on I/O pin P0. The following is an example of the <span class="keyword_in_text">COMPARE </span>command:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
result VAR Bit
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
COMPARE 1, result
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This example enables the comparator (setting P0 to output the result,
|
||||
with P1 and P2 as the comparator inputs) and writes the result of the
|
||||
comparison into <i>result</i>. Both <i>Result </i>and the output pin P0
|
||||
will be 0 if the input voltage on P1 was greater than that of P2.
|
||||
<i>result</i> and the output pin P0 will be 1 if the input voltage on P1
|
||||
was less than that of P2.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Note that the comparator hardware operates independently of the
|
||||
execution speed of the BS2px and will continue to run and update P0 if
|
||||
Mode = 1, even during sleep mode (execution of <span class="keyword_in_text">END</span>, <span class="keyword_in_text">NAP</span>,
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">POLLWAIT</span> 8, or <span class="keyword_in_text">SLEEP</span> commands). To avoid spurious current
|
||||
draw during sleep mode, disable the comparator first.</p>

<h2>Explanation</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The <span class="keyword_in_text">CONFIGPIN</span> command enables or disables special I/O pin properties
|
||||
on all 16 I/O pins at once. There are four properties, or modes, available:
|
||||
Schmitt Trigger, Logic Threshold, Pull-up Resistor, and Output Direction.
|
||||
Each I/O pin on the BS2px contains special hardware dedicated to each of
|
||||
these properties.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">By default, all BASIC Stamp I/O pins are set to inputs. Enabling the
|
||||
Output Direction mode sets an I/O pin’s direction to output. Disabling
|
||||
the Output Direction mode sets an I/O pin’s direction to input. This has
|
||||
the same effect as using the <span class="keyword_in_text">OUTPUT</span> or <span class="keyword_in_text">INPUT</span> commands, or the
|
||||
DIRx = # assignment statement to configure I/O pin directions. The
|
||||
following is an example of the <span class="keyword_in_text">CONFIGPIN</span> command using the Output
|
||||
Direction mode:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
CONFIGPIN DIRECTION, %0000000100010011
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Every high bit (1) in the <i>PinMask</i> argument enables the output direction
|
||||
for the corresponding I/O pin while every low bit (0) disables the output
|
||||
direction. In the above example, I/O pins 8, 4, 1, and 0 are set to the
|
||||
output direction and all other I/O pins are set to the input direction. This
|
||||
is similar to the following statement:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DIRS = %0000000100010011
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Pull-up resistors are commonly used in circuitry where a component, such
|
||||
as a button, provides an open/drain signal; the signal is either floating
|
||||
(open) or is driven to ground (drain). Since the BASIC Stamp input pins
|
||||
must always be connected to either 5 volts or ground (0 volts) in order to
|
||||
read a reliable logic state with them, a pull-up resistor is required on
|
||||
circuitry, such as the button circuit mentioned above, so that the signal is
|
||||
never left floating (electrically disconnected).</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The following example enables internal pull-up resistors on I/O pins 15,
|
||||
12, 6, and 3, and disables internal pull-up resistors on all other I/O pins:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
CONFIGPIN PULLUP, %1001000001001000
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Note that the internal pull-up resistors are intentionally weak, about 20
|
||||
kΩ. Additionally, the internal pull-up resistors can be activated for all
|
||||
pins, regardless of pin direction, but really matter only when the
|
||||
associated pin is set to input mode.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">An input pin’s logic threshold determines the voltage levels that are
|
||||
interpreted as logic high (1) and logic low (0). Most microcontrollers, and
|
||||
other integrated circuits use one of two types of logic threshold: TTL Level
|
||||
or CMOS Level. The BASIC Stamp I/O pins are, by default, configured for TTL
|
||||
level logic thresholds. The figure below is an illustration of the difference
|
||||
between TTL and CMOS logic levels.</p>

|

<p class="PlainText"> </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The logic threshold for TTL is 1.4 volts; a voltage below 1.4 is considered
|
||||
to be a logic 0 while a voltage above 1.4 is considered to be a logic 1. The
|
||||
logic threshold for CMOS is 50% of Vdd; a voltage below ½ Vdd is
|
||||
considered a logic 0 while a voltage above ½ Vdd is considered a logic 1.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">For the <span class="keyword_in_text">CONFIGPIN</span> command's THRESHOLD mode, a high bit (1) in the
|
||||
<i>PinMask</i> argument sets the corresponding I/O pin to CMOS threshold
|
||||
level, and a low bit sets it to a TTL threshold level. The following example
|
||||
sets CMOS threshold level on I/O pins 3, 2, 1, and 0, and TTL threshold
|
||||
level on all other I/O pins.</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
CONFIGPIN THRESHOLD, %0000000000001111
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The threshold level can be set for all pins, regardless of pin direction, but
|
||||
really matters only when the associated pin is set to input mode.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Normally, if a signal on an input pin is somewhat noisy (the voltage level
|
||||
randomly rises and falls beyond the logic threshold boundary) then
|
||||
reading that pin’s input value will result in spurious highs and lows (1s
|
||||
and 0s). Schmitt Triggers are circuits that make inputs more steady and
|
||||
reliable by adding a region of hysteresis around the logic threshold that
|
||||
the signal must completely traverse before the logic level is interpreted as
|
||||
being changed. By default BASIC Stamp I/O pins are set to normal input
|
||||
mode, but the BS2px can be configured for Schmitt Trigger mode as well.
|
||||
The figure below illustrates Schmitt Trigger characteristics.</p>

<h2>Explanation</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The <span class="keyword_in_text">COUNT</span> instruction makes the <i>Pin</i> an input, then for the specified
|
||||
<i>duration</i>, counts cycles on that pin and stores the total in a variable. A
|
||||
cycle is a change in state from 1 to 0 to 1, or from 0 to 1 to 0.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">According to table above, <span class="keyword_in_text">COUNT</span> on the BS2 can respond to transitions
|
||||
(pulse widths) as small as 4.16 microseconds (µs). A cycle consists of two transitions
|
||||
(e.g., 0 to 1, then 1 to 0), so <span class="keyword_in_text">COUNT</span> (on the BS2) can respond to square
|
||||
waves with periods as short as 8.32 µs; up to 120 kilohertz (kHz) in frequency.
|
||||
For non-square waves (those whose high time and low time are unequal), the shorter
|
||||
of the high and low times must be at least 4.16 µs in width (on the BS2). Refer
|
||||
to the table for data on other BASIC Stamp modules.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">If you use <span class="keyword_in_text">COUNT</span> on slowly changing analog waveforms like sine waves,
|
||||
you may find that the value returned is higher than expected. This is because the
|
||||
waveform may pass through the BASIC Stamp’s 1.4-volt logic threshold slowly enough
|
||||
that noise causes false counts. You can fix this by passing the signal through
|
||||
a Schmitt Trigger, like one of the inverters of a 74HCT14. Or, you may use the
|
||||
BS2px’s built-in Schmitt-Trigger pin property; see

<h2>Explanation</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">When you download a program into the BASIC Stamp, it is stored in the EEPROM starting
|
||||
at the highest address (2047) and working towards the lowest address. Most programs
|
||||
don't use the entire EEPROM, so the lower portion is available for other uses.
|
||||
The <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive allows you to define a set of data to store in the available
|
||||
EEPROM locations. It is called a "directive" rather than a "command" because it
|
||||
performs an activity at compile-time rather than at run-time (i.e.: the <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span>directive is not downloaded to the BASIC Stamp, but the data it contains is downloaded).</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The simplest form of the <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive is something like the following:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DATA 100, 200, 52, 45
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This example, when downloaded, will cause the values 100, 200, 52 and 45 to be
|
||||
written to EEPROM locations 0, 1, 2 and 3, respectively. You can then use the
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span> and <span class="keyword_in_text">WRITE</span> commands in your code to access these locations and
|
||||
the data you've stored there.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> uses a counter, called a pointer, to keep track of available EEPROM
|
||||
addresses. The value of the pointer is initially 0. When a program is downloaded,
|
||||
the <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive stores the first byte value at the current pointer address,
|
||||
then increments (adds 1 to) the pointer. If the program contains more than one
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive, subsequent <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span>s start with the pointer value left
|
||||
by the previous <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span>. For example, if the program contains:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DATA 72, 69, 76, 76, 79
|
||||
DATA 104, 101, 108, 108, 111
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The first <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive will start at location 0 and increment the pointer
|
||||
for each data value it stores (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). The second <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive
|
||||
will start with the pointer value of 5 and work upward from there. As a result,
|
||||
the first 10 bytes of EEPROM will look like the following:</p>

to store the following <i>DataItem</i>(s) starting at location 100. All the
|
||||
<i>DataItems</i> to the right of the @100 are stored in their respective locations
|
||||
(100, 101, 102... 109).</p>
|
||||
<p>In addition, the <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive allows you to specify new starting locations
|
||||
at any time within the <i>DataItem</i> list. If, for example, you wanted to store
|
||||
56 at location 100 and 47 at location 150 (while leaving every other location intact),
|
||||
you could type the following:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DATA @100, 56, @150, 47
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">If you have multiple <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directives in your program, it may be difficult
|
||||
to remember exactly what locations contain the desired data. For this reason, the
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive can optionally be prefixed with a unique symbol name. This
|
||||
symbol becomes a constant that is set equal to the location number of the first
|
||||
byte of data within the directive. For example,</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
MyNumbers DATA @100, 72, 73
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This would store the values 72 and 73 starting with location 100 and will create
|
||||
a constant, called MyNumbers, which is set equal to 100. Your program can then
|
||||
use the MyNumbers constant as a reference to the start of the data within a <span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span>or <span class="keyword_in_text">WRITE</span> command. Each <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive can have a unique symbol preceding
|
||||
it, allowing you to reference the data defined at different locations.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">There may be a time when you wish to reserve a section of EEPROM for use by your
|
||||
BASIC code, but not necessarily store data there to begin with. To do this, simply
|
||||
specify a <i>DataItem</i> within parentheses, as in:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DATA @100, (20)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The above <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive will reserve 20 bytes of EEPROM, starting with
|
||||
location 100. It doesn't store any values there, rather it simply leaves the data
|
||||
as it is and increments <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span>'s location pointer by 20. A good reason to
|
||||
do this is when you have a program already downloaded into the BASIC Stamp that
|
||||
has created or manipulated some data in EEPROM. To protect that section of EEPROM
|
||||
from being overwritten by your next program (perhaps a new version of the same
|
||||
program) you can reserve the space as shown above. The EEPROM's contents from
|
||||
locations 100 to 119 will remain intact. NOTE: This only "reserves" the space for
|
||||
the program you are currently downloading; the BASIC Stamp does not know to
|
||||
"reserve" the space for future programs. In other words, make sure use this
|
||||
feature of the <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive in every program you download if you don't
|
||||
want to risk overwriting valuable EEPROM data.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">It is important to realize that EEPROM is not overwritten during programming
|
||||
unless it is needed for program storage, or is filled by a <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive
|
||||
specifying data to be written. During downloading, EEPROM is always written in
|
||||
16-byte sections if, and only if, any location within that section needs writing. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> can also store the same number in a block of consecutive locations.
|
||||
This is similar to reserving a block of EEPROM, above, but with a value added before
|
||||
the first parenthesis. For example,</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DATA @100, 0 (20)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This statement writes the value 0 in all the EEPROM locations from 100 to 119.</p>
|
||||
<p>A common use for <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> is to store strings; sequences of bytes representing
|
||||
text. PBASIC converts quoted text like "A" into the corresponding ASCII character
|
||||
code (65 in this case). To make data entry easier, you can place quotes around a
|
||||
whole chunk of text used in a <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive, and PBASIC will understand
|
||||
it to mean a series of bytes (see the last line of code below). The following
|
||||
three <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directives are equivalent: </p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DATA 72, 69, 76, 76, 79
|
||||
DATA "H", "E", "L", "L", "O"
|
||||
DATA "HELLO"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">All three lines of code, above, will result in the numbers 72, 69, 76, 76, and
|
||||
79 being stored into EEPROM upon downloading. These numbers are simply the ASCII
|
||||
character codes for "H", "E", "L", "L", and "O", respectively. See the
|
||||
Example program link at the top for a demonstration of storing and
|
||||
reading multiple text strings.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The EEPROM is organized as a sequential set of byte-sized memory locations.
|
||||
By default, the <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive stores bytes into EEPROM. If you try to
|
||||
store a word-size value (ex: <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> 1125) only the lower byte of the value
|
||||
will be stored. This does not mean that you can't store word-sized values, however.
|
||||
A word consists of two bytes, called a low-byte and a high-byte. If you wanted
|
||||
to store the value 1125 using the <span class="keyword_in_text">DATA</span> directive, simply insert the prefix
|
||||
"Word" before the number, as in:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DATA Word 1125
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The directive above will automatically break the word-size value into two bytes
|
||||
and store them into two sequential EEPROM locations (the low-byte first, followed
|
||||
by the high-byte, or "<i>Little Endian</i>"). In this case, the low-byte is 101
|
||||
and the high byte is 4 and they will be stored in locations 0 and 1, respectively.
|
||||
If you have multiple word-size values, you must prefix each value with "Word",
|
||||
as in:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DATA Word 1125, Word 2000
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">To retrieve a word-size value, you'll need to use the Word modifier with
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span> (only available in PBASIC 2.5 syntax). For example,</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
|
||||
|
||||
result VAR Word
|
||||
|
||||
Storage:
|
||||
DATA Word 1125
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
READ 0, Word result
|
||||
DEBUG DEC result
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This code would write the low-byte and high-byte of the number 1125 into locations
|
||||
0 and 1 during download. When the program runs, the <span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span> function (with
|
||||
the Word modifier) will retrieve the value out of EEPROM and then display the value
|
||||
on the screen. See the <a href="READ.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0" xrefformat="{paratext}">READ</a> and <a href="WRITE.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0" xrefformat="{paratext}">WRITE</a> commands for more information.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Finally, a <i>DataItem</i> may be defined using a simple expression with the binary
|
||||
operators as shown below:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
MinLvl CON 10
|
||||
|
||||
myLvl VAR Byte
|
||||
|
||||
Level1 DATA MinLvl + 10
|
||||
Level2 DATA MinLvl * 5 + 21
|

<h2>Explanation</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> provides a convenient way for your BASIC Stamp to send messages to
|
||||
the PC screen while running. The name "debug" suggests its most popular use;
|
||||
debugging programs by showing you the value of a variable or expression, or by
|
||||
indicating what portion of a program is currently executing. <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> is also
|
||||
a great way to rehearse programming techniques. Throughout this manual, we use
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> to give you immediate feedback on the effects of instructions. The
|
||||
following example demonstrates using the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> command to send the text
|
||||
string message "Hello World!". </p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DEBUG "Hello, World!" ' test Message
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">After you download this one-line program, the BASIC Stamp Editor will open a
|
||||
Debug terminal on your PC screen and wait for a response from the BASIC Stamp.
|
||||
A moment later, the phrase "Hello World!" will appear. Note that if you close the
|
||||
Debug terminal, your program keeps executing, but you can't see the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span>
|
||||
data anymore.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Multiple pieces of data can be sent with one <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> command by separating
|
||||
the data with commas (,). The following example produces exactly the same results
|
||||
as the example above.</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DEBUG "Hello, ", "World!" ' test Message
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> can also print and format numbers (values) from both constants
|
||||
and variables. Please note that formatting the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> output with the BS1
|
||||
differs significantly from formatting the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> output with the BS2 family.
|
||||
Please read the appropriate sections that follow carefully.</p>
|
||||
<p class="Tip" MadCap:autonum="Tip:  "><span class="autonumber"><span class="TipSpan">Tip:  </span></span><b>Don't let your BASIC Stamp be mistaken for a mouse! </b>
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
<br />Connecting USB-based boards to your PC may cause the BASIC Stamp to reset. If your BASIC Stamp program immediately starts sending serial data to the computer via a <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> or <span class="keyword_in_text">SEROUT</span> command, your computer's operating system may mistake it for a mouse or other serial plug-and-play device. To avoid this, place a 1-second pause at the beginning of the program. </p>

<h2>

<img align="absmiddle" src="../../graphics/bs1_inline.gif" border="0" />  BASIC Stamp 1 Formatting</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">On the BS1, the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> command, by default, displays numbers in the format
|
||||
"symbol = value" (followed by a carriage return), using the decimal number system.
|
||||
For example: </p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
SYMBOL x = B2
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|
||||
x = 75
|

|
||||
Main:
|
||||
DEBUG x
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">...displays "x = 75" on the screen. To display the value, in decimal, without
|
||||
the "x =" text, use the decimal formatter (#) before the variable name. For
|
||||
example, the following code displays "75" on the screen:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
SYMBOL x = B2
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|
||||
x = 75
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
DEBUG #x
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">To display numbers in hexadecimal or binary form, use the $ or % formatter,
|
||||
respectively. The code below displays the same number in its hexadecimal and binary
|
||||
forms.</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
SYMBOL x = B2
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|
||||
x = 75
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
DEBUG $x, %x
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">After running the above code, "X = $4B" and "X = %01001011" should appear on the
|
||||
screen. To display hexadecimal ($) or binary (%) values without the "symbol = "
|
||||
preface, use the # modifier as shown below:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
SYMBOL x = B2
|
||||
|
||||
x = 75
|
||||
DEBUG #x, "as HEX is ", #$x ' displays "75 as HEX is $4B"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">To display a number as its ASCII character equivalent, use the ASCII formatter
|
||||
(@). Typing <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> @x (in place of the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> statement in the code
|
||||
above) would display "x = 'K'" on the screen.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Two pre-defined symbols, CR and CLS, can be used to send a carriage-return or
|
||||
clear-screen command to the Debug Terminal. The CR symbol will cause the Debug
|
||||
Terminal to start a new line and the CLS symbol will cause the Debug Terminal to
|
||||
clear itself and place the cursor at the top-left corner of the screen. The
|
||||
following code demonstrates this.</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DEBUG "You can not see this.", CLS, "Here is line 1", CR, "Here is line 2"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">When the above is run, the final result is "Here is line 1" on the first line
|
||||
of the screen and "Here is line 2" on the second line. You may or may not have
|
||||
seen "You can not see this." appear first. This is because it was immediately
|
||||
followed by a clear-screen symbol, CLS, which caused the display to clear the
|
||||
screen before displaying the rest of the information.</p>

<h2>
|

<img align="absmiddle" src="../../graphics/bsall_inline.gif" border="0" />  BASIC Stamp 2 Series Formatting</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">On the all BASIC Stamp models except the BS1, the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> command, by default,
|
||||
displays everything as ASCII characters. What if you want to display a number?
|
||||
You might think the following example would do this:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
x VAR Byte
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|
||||
x = 65
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
DEBUG x ' show value of x
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Since we set x equal to 65 (in line 2), you might expect the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> line
|
||||
to display "65" on the screen. Instead of "65", however, you'll see the letter
|
||||
"A" if you run this example. The problem is that we never told the BASIC Stamp
|
||||
how to output x, and it defaults to ASCII (the ASCII character at position 65 is
|
||||
"A"). Instead, we need to tell it to display the "decimal form" of the number in
|
||||
X. We can do this by using the decimal formatter (DEC) before the variable. The
|
||||
example below will display "65" on the screen.</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
x VAR Byte
|

<p class="PlainText">As seen above, special versions of the DEC, HEX and BIN formatters allow for
|
||||
the display of indicated, signed and fixed-width numbers. The term "indicated"
|
||||
simply means that a special symbol is displayed, before the number, indicating
|
||||
what number system it belongs to. For example:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
x VAR Byte
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|
||||
x = 65
|
||||
|

Main:
|
||||
DEBUG HEX x ' show hexadecimal value of x
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">...displays "41" (65, in decimal, is 41, in hexadecimal). You might see a problem
|
||||
here... unless you knew the number was supposed to be hexadecimal, you might think
|
||||
it was 41, in decimal... a totally different number. To help avoid this, use the
|
||||
IHEX formatter (the "I" stands for indicated). Changing the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> line to
|
||||
read: <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> IHEX x would print "$41" on the screen. A similar formatter
|
||||
for binary also exists, IBIN, which prints a "%" before the number.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Signed numbers are preceded with a space ( ) or a minus sign (-) to indicate a
|
||||
positive or negative number, respectively. Normally, any number displayed by the
|
||||
BASIC Stamp is shown in its unsigned (positive) form without any indicator. The
|
||||
signed formatters allow
|
||||
you to display the number as a signed (rather than unsigned) value.</p>

||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The signed form of the number -65 is shown in decimal, hexadecimal and then in
|
||||
binary on the top line. The unsigned form, in all three number systems, is shown
|
||||
on the bottom line. If the unsigned form looks strange to you, it's because negative
|

numbers are stored in twos-compliment format within the BASIC Stamp. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Suppose that your program contained several <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> instructions showing
|
||||
the contents of different variables. You would want some way to tell them apart.
|
||||
One possible way is to do the following:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
x VAR Byte
|
||||
y VAR Byte
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|

|
||||
y = 250
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
DEBUG "X = ", DEC x, CR ' show decimal value of x
|
||||
DEBUG "Y = ", DEC y, CR ' show decimal value of y
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">...but typing the name of the variables in quotes (for the display) can get a
|
||||
little tedious. A special formatter, the question mark (?), can save you a lot
|
||||
of time. The code below does exactly the same thing (with less typing):</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
x VAR Byte
|
||||
y VAR Byte
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|
||||
x = 100
|
||||
y = 250
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
DEBUG DEC ? x ' show decimal value of x
|
||||
DEBUG DEC ? y ' show decimal value of y
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The display would look something like this:</p><pre>x = 100<br />y = 250
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The ? formatter always displays data in the form "symbol = value" (followed by
|
||||
a carriage return). In addition, it defaults to displaying in decimal, so we really
|
||||
only needed to type: <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> ? x for the above code. You can, of course,
|
||||
use any of the three number systems. For example: <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> HEX ? x or
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> BIN ? y. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">It's important to note that the "symbol" it displays is taken directly from what
|
||||
appears to the right of the ?. If you were to use an expression, for example:
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> ? x*10/2+3 in the above code, the display would show: "x*10/2+3
|
||||
= 503". </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">A special formatter, ASC, is also available for use only with the ? formatter
|
||||
to display ASCII characters, as in: <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> ASC ? x.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">What if you need to display a table of data; multiple rows and columns? The
|
||||
Signed/Unsigned code (above) approaches this but, if you notice, the columns don't
|
||||
line up. The number formatters (DEC, HEX and BIN) have some useful variations to
|
||||
make the display fixed-width. Up to 5 digits can be displayed for decimal numbers.
|
||||
To fix the value to a specific number of decimal digits, you can use DEC1, DEC2,
|
||||
DEC3, DEC4 or DEC5. For example:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
x VAR Byte
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|
||||
x = 165
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
DEBUG DEC5 x ' show decimal value of x
|
||||
END ' in 5 digits
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">...displays "00165". Notice that leading zeros? The display is "fixed" to 5 digits,
|
||||
no more and no less. Any unused digits will be filled with zeros.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Using DEC4 in the same code would display "0165". DEC3 would display "165".
|
||||
What would happen if we used DEC2? Regardless of the number, the BASIC Stamp will
|
||||
ensure that it is always the exact number of digits you specified. In this case,
|
||||
it would truncate the "1" and only display "65". </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Using the fixed-width version of the formatters in the Signed/Unsigned code
|
||||
above, may result in the following code:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
x VAR Word
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|
||||
x = -65
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
DEBUG "Signed: ", SDEC5 x, " ", ISHEX4 x, " ", ISBIN16 x, CR
|
||||
DEBUG "Unsigned: ", DEC5 x, " ", IHEX4 x, " ", IBIN16 x
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p>...and displays:</p><pre>Signed: -00065 -$0041 -%0000000001000001<br />Unsigned: 65471 $FFBF %1111111110111111
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Note that the columns don't line up exactly (due to the extra "sign" characters
|
||||
in the first row), but it certainly looks better than the alternative.</p>
|
||||
<h3><a name="Displayi"></a>Displaying Strings (Byte Arrays)</h3>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">If you have a string of characters to display (a byte array), you can use the
|
||||
STR formatter to do so. The STR formatter has two forms (as shown in the table above)
|
||||
for variable-width and fixed-width data. The example below is the variable-width
|
||||
form.</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
alpha VAR Byte(5)
|
||||
|
||||
Init:
|
||||
alpha(0) = "A"
|
||||
alpha(1) = "B"
|
||||
alpha(2) = "C"
|
||||
alpha(3) = "D"
|
||||
alpha(4) = 0
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
DEBUG STR alpha, CR ' display "ABCD"
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This code displays "ABCD" on the screen. In this form, the STR formatter displays
|
||||
each character contained in the byte array until it finds a character that is equal
|
||||
to 0 (value 0, not "0"). This is convenient for use with the <a href="SERIN.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0">SERIN</a> command's STR
|
||||
formatter, which appends 0's to the end of variable-width character string inputs.
|
||||
NOTE: If your byte array doesn't end with 0, the BASIC Stamp will read and output
|
||||
all RAM register contents until it finds a 0 or until it cycles through all RAM
|
||||
locations.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">To specify a fixed-width format for the STR formatter, use the form STR alpha\n;
|
||||
where alpha is the byte array and n is the number of characters to print. Changing
|
||||
the <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> line in the example above to: <span class="code_in_text">DEBUG STR alpha\2</span> would display
|
||||
"AB" on the screen.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">If you need to display the same ASCII character multiple times, the REP (repeat)
|
||||
formatter can help. REP takes the form: REP x\n ;where x is the character and
|
||||
n is the number of times to repeat it. For example:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DEBUG REP "-"\10
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">...would display 10 hyphens on the screen, "<tt>----------</tt>". </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Since individual <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> instructions can grow to be fairly complicated,
|
||||
and since a program can contain many <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span>s, you'll probably want to control
|
||||
the character positioning of the Debug Terminal screen. <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> supports a
|
||||
number of different control characters, some with pre-defined symbols. The Debug
|
||||
Terminal in the Windows<sup>®</sup> version of the editor supports all the
|
||||
control characters shown below, while the DOS version only supports a few of them.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Some of the control characters have pre-defined symbols associated with them.
|
||||
In your <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> commands, you can use those symbols, for example: <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span>"Hello", CR displays "Hello" followed by a carriage return. You can always use
|
||||
the ASCII value for any of the control characters, however. For example: <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span>"Hello", 13 is exactly the same as the code above.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The Move To control character is perhaps the most unique of the set. If the
|
||||
Debug Terminal receives this character, it expects to see an x and y position value
|
||||
to follow (in the next two characters received). The following line moves the
|
||||
cursor to column number 4 in row number 5 and displays "Hello":</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DEBUG CRSRXY, 4, 5, "Hello"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The upper-left cursor position is 0, 0 (that is column 0, line 0). The right-most
|
||||
cursor positions depend on the size of the Debug Terminal window (which is user
|
||||
adjustable). If a character position that is out of range is received, the Debug
|
||||
Terminal wraps back around to the opposite side of the screen.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The Clear EOL (end of line) control character clears the characters that appear
|
||||
to the right of, and on, the cursor's current position. The cursor is not moved
|
||||
by this action.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The Clear Down control character clears the characters that appear below, and
|
||||
on, the cursor's current line. The cursor is not moved by this action.</p>

For example,</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">

DEBUG "Hello"
|

</pre>
|

<p class="PlainText">...is exactly like:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">

SEROUT 16, $4054, ["Hello"]
|

</pre>
|

<p class="PlainText">in terms of function (on a BS2). The <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> line actually takes less
|

program space, and is obviously easier to type.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">You may view <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span>'s output using a terminal program set to the above
|
||||
parameters, but you may have to modify either your carrier board or the serial
|
||||
cable to temporarily disconnect pin 3 of the BASIC Stamp (pin 4 of the DB-9
|
||||
connector). See the <a href="SEROUT.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0">SEROUT</a> command for more detail. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Another method to decrease program space is to reduce the number of <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span>
|
||||
instructions by spreading <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> data across multiple lines. To do this,
|
||||
each line that wraps around must end with a comma as in the example below:
|
||||
|
||||
</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
DEBUG "This is line 1", CR,
|
||||
"This is line 2"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The example above works identically to, but uses less program space than, this version:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">

|

<p class="Tip" MadCap:autonum="Tip:  "><span class="autonumber"><span class="TipSpan">Tip:  </span></span>Note that spreading a <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUG</span> statement across multiple lines requires the

<h2>Explanation</h2>
|

<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUGIN</span> provides a convenient way for your BASIC Stamp accept input from
|
||||
the use via the Debug Terminal. <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUGIN</span> can wait for, filter and

convert incoming data in powerful ways, using the same techniques and modifiers
|
||||
as <a href="SERIN.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0" xrefformat="{paratext}">SERIN</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This simple example waits for a number from the user, then prints a message
|
||||
the specified number of times: </p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">

</pre>
|

<p class="PlainText">After you download this program, the BASIC Stamp Editor will open a Debug
|

Terminal on your PC screen and wait for an entry from the user. Since the DEC1

modifier is used with <span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUGIN</span>, the program will ignore all keys except
|
||||
"0" - "9". If the value entered is between 1 and 5, the message will be printed,
|

otherwise the program will display an "Invalid entry" message, then loop back
|
||||
and wait for another entry.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">DEBUGIN</span> is actually a special case of the <span class="keyword_in_text">SERIN</span> instruction. It
|

is set for inverted (RS-232-compatible) serial output through the programming

connector (the SIN pin) at 9600 baud (BS2, BS2e, BS2sx, BS2p, and BS2pe) or
|

<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">DO...LOOP</span> loops let your program execute a series of instructions

indefinitely, or until a specified condition terminates the loop. The simplest

form is shown here: </p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|

Error_Message:

|

PAUSE 2000
|

LOOP
|

<p class="PlainText">In this example the error message will be printed on the

<a href="DEBUG.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0" xrefformat="{paratext}">DEBUG</a> screen every two seconds until the BASIC Stamp is

reset. Simple <span class="keyword_in_text">DO...LOOP</span> loops can be terminated with
|
||||
<a href="EXIT.htm" class="MCXref_0" xrefformat="{paratext}">EXIT</a>. For example:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
Error_Message:
|

|

DEBUG "Error...", CR
|
||||
PAUSE 1000

|

LOOP
|

GOTO Initialize ' re-initialize system
|

</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">In this case the loop will continue until the pin named AckPin is pulled low,
|
||||
then the loop will terminate and continue at the line <span class="code_in_text">GOTO Initialize</span>.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">More often than not, you will want to test some condition to determine whether
|
||||
the loop code should run or continue to run. A loop that tests the condition before
|
||||
running loop code is constructed like this:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
reps VAR Nib
|
||||
|
||||
Print_Stars:
|
||||
DO WHILE (reps < 3) ' test before loop statements
|
||||
DEBUG "*"
|
||||
reps = reps + 1
|
||||
LOOP
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">In this program the loop code <span class="code_in_text">DEBUG "*"</span> will not run unless the <span class="keyword_in_text">WHILE</span>
|
||||
condition evaluates as True. Another way to write the loop is like this:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
reps VAR Nib
|
||||
|
||||
Print_Stars:
|
||||
DO
|
||||
DEBUG "*"
|
||||
reps = reps + 1
|
||||
LOOP UNTIL (reps >= 3) ' test after loop statements
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The difference is that with this loop, the loop statements will always run at
|
||||
least once before the condition is tested and will continue to as long as the
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">UNTIL</span> condition evaluates as False.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Note that <span class="keyword_in_text">WHILE</span> (loop runs while True) and <span class="keyword_in_text">UNTIL</span> (loop runs until
|
||||
True) tests can be interchanged, but are generally used as illustrated above.

you could use the optional <i>OnTime</i> and <i>OffTime</i> values:

<p class="PlainText">The BASIC Stamp microcontroller is a purely digital device. DTMF tones are analog
|
||||
waveforms, consisting of a mixture of two sine waves at different audio frequencies.
|
||||
So how does a digital device generate analog output? The BASIC Stamp creates and
|
||||
mixes the sine waves mathematically, then uses the resulting stream of numbers to
|
||||
control the duty cycle of a very fast pulse-width modulation (PWM) routine. So
|
||||
what's actually coming out of the I/O pin is a rapid stream of pulses. The purpose
|
||||
of the filtering arrangements shown in the figures above is to smooth out the
|
||||
high-frequency PWM, leaving only the lower frequency audio behind. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">Keep this in mind if you want to interface a BASIC Stamp module's DTMF output to radios
|
||||
and other equipment that could be adversely affected by the presence of
|
||||
high-frequency
|
||||
noise on the input. Make sure to filter the DTMF output thoroughly. The circuits
|
||||
above are only a starting point; you may want to use an active low-pass filter
|
||||
with a roll-off point around 2 kHz.</p>

<h2>Explanation</h2>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">When you download a program into the BASIC Stamp 1, it is stored in the EEPROM
|
||||
starting at the highest address (255) and working towards the lowest address. Most
|
||||
programs don't use the entire EEPROM, so the lower portion is available for other
|
||||
uses. The <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive allows you to define a set of data to store in
|
||||
the available EEPROM locations. It is called a "directive" rather than a "command"
|
||||
because it performs an activity at compile-time rather than at run-time (i.e., the
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive is not downloaded to the BASIC Stamp 1, but the data it
|
||||
contains is downloaded).</p>
|
||||
<p>The simplest form of the <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive is something like the following:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
EEPROM (100, 200, 52, 45)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This example, when downloaded, will cause the values 100, 200, 52 and 45 to be
|
||||
written to EEPROM locations 0, 1, 2 and 3, respectively. You can then use the
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span> and <span class="keyword_in_text">WRITE</span> commands in your code to access these locations and
|
||||
the data you've stored there</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive uses a counter, called a pointer, to keep track of
|
||||
available EEPROM addresses. The value of the pointer is initially 0. When a program
|
||||
is downloaded, the <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive stores the first byte value at the current
|
||||
pointer address, then increments (adds 1 to) the pointer. If the program contains
|
||||
more than one <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive, subsequent <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directives start
|
||||
with the pointer value left by the previous <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive. For example,
|
||||
if the program contains:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
EEPROM (72, 69, 76, 76, 79)
|
||||
EEPROM (104, 101, 108, 108, 111)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The first <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive will start at location 0 and increment the
|
||||
pointer for each data value it stores (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). The second <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span>directive will start with the pointer value of 5 and work upward from there. As
|
||||
a result, the first 10 bytes of EEPROM will look like the following:</p>

<p class="PlainText">What if you don't want to store values starting at location 0? Fortunately,
|
||||
the <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive has an option to specify the next location to use.
|
||||
You can specify the next location number (to set the pointer to) by using the
|
||||
optional <i>Location</i> argument before the list of <i>DataItems</i>. The following
|
||||
code writes the same data in the table above to locations 50 through 59:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
EEPROM 50, (72, 69, 76, 76, 79, 104, 101, 108, 108, 111)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">In this example, the <i>Location</i> argument is given and tells the <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span>directive to store the following <i>DataItem</i>(s) starting at location 50. The
|
||||
<i>DataItems</i> in the list are stored in their respective locations (50, 51,
|
||||
52... 59).</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">It is important to realize that the entire BASIC Stamp 1 EEPROM is overwritten
|
||||
during programming. Any EEPROM location not containing a PBASIC program or
|
||||
<i>DataItems</i> from an <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive is written with a 0. </p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">A common use for EEPROM is to store strings; sequences of bytes representing
|
||||
text. PBASIC converts quoted text like "A" into the corresponding ASCII character
|
||||
code (65 in this case). To make data entry easier, you can place quotes around a
|
||||
whole chunk of text used in a <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive, and PBASIC will understand
|
||||
it to mean a series of bytes (see the last line of code below). The following three
|
||||
<span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directives are equivalent: </p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
EEPROM (72, 69, 76, 76, 79)
|
||||
EEPROM ("H", "E", "L", "L", "O")
|
||||
EEPROM ("HELLO")
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">All three lines of code, above, will result in the numbers 72, 69, 76, 76, and
|
||||
79 being stored into EEPROM upon downloading. These numbers are simply the ASCII
|
||||
character codes for "H", "E", "L", "L", and "O", respectively. See the
|
||||
Example program above for a demonstration of storing and
|
||||
reading multiple text strings.</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The EEPROM is organized as a sequential set of byte-sized memory locations.
|
||||
The <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive only stores bytes into EEPROM. If you try to store
|
||||
a word-size value, for example: <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> (1125), only the lower byte of the
|
||||
value will be stored (in this case, 101). This does not mean that you can't store
|
||||
word-sized values, however. A word consists of two bytes, called a low-byte and
|
||||
a high-byte. If you wanted to store the value 1125 using the <span class="keyword_in_text">EEPROM</span> directive
|
||||
you'll have to calculate the low-byte and the high-byte and insert them in the
|
||||
list in the proper order, as in:</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
EEPROM (101, 4)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">The directive above will store the two bytes into two sequential EEPROM
|
||||
locations (the low-byte first, followed by the high-byte). We calculated this in
|
||||
the following manner: 1) high-byte is INT(value / 256) and 2) low-byte is value -
|
||||
(high-byte * 256).</p>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">To retrieve a word-size value, you'll need to use two <span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span> commands and
|
||||
a word-size variable. For example,</p><pre class="BScode" xml:space="preserve">
|
||||
SYMBOL result = W1 ' word-sized variable
|
||||
SYMBOL resLo = B2 ' B2 is low-byte of W1
|
||||
SYMBOL resHi = B3 ' B3 is high-byte of W1
|
||||
|
||||
EEPROM (101, 4)
|
||||
|
||||
Main:
|
||||
READ 0, resLo
|
||||
READ 1, resHi
|
||||
DEBUG #result
|
||||
END
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p class="PlainText">This code would write the low-byte and high-byte of the number 1125 into
|
||||
locations 0 and 1 during download. When the program runs, the two <span class="keyword_in_text">READ</span>commands will read the low-byte and high-byte out of EEPROM (reconstructing it in
|
||||
a word-size variable) and then display the value on the screen. See the <a href="READ.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0" xrefformat="{paratext}">READ</a>

<p class="PlainText"><span class="keyword_in_text">END</span> puts the BASIC Stamp into its inactive, low-power mode. In this

reduced to the amount shown above. <span class="keyword_in_text">END</span> keeps the BASIC Stamp

on I/O pins for about 18 ms durations (60 µs on the BS2pe). The reason is that the

watchdog-timer reset that awakens the BASIC Stamp during these commands also causes all of the pins to
|

switch to input mode for approximately 18 ms (60 µs on the BS2pe). When the interpreter
