This is a collection of items to make up a complete Parallax Board of Education training kit. The Basic stamp is a new BS2P processor which is faster, more memory and comands then the original Basic Stamp2. It retails for $79.99. The board is in mint condition (only used a few times) and tested before listing. Everything else is new except the USB cable I used with my camera a few times. Parallax retail value of over $190, not counting the cable and un-opened bag of electronic parts that go with the book.

A place for the discussion TofuRobot brought up regarding other electronic projects. Instead of being lost to the shoutbox nether regions,here's a screenshot of the beginning.

Personally, I think tip/walkthrough would be the right place for stuff that can also apply to robotics. Non-robotics (like the carduino example) would go in a blog.

Hi, guys. I remember reading somewhere (maybe LMR, maybe Make Magazine?) about a DIY way to make a sort of electrical switch that closed a circuit when it was punched or stomped. It had something to do with a layer of foam between two contacts -- maybe the foam was partially conductive or something? I'm working on a musical project that involves recreating something similar to a DDR dance pad, and I'm trying to figure out how to make the pads. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and maybe have a link or something? Or does anyone have any ideas that might prove useful? Thanks.

i think this little project would be good for your programming and electronics.

it looks like a lot of fun.
