- Do you have a project that a microcontroller will work great with?
- Don't want a large up front investment?
- Not sure if microcontrollers are for you?
- Need to integrate a microcontroller into a design but don't want to mess with the extra circuitry to support them?
Then the BasicATOM series is the place to start - If your already using the Basic Stamp but would like to expand and don't want to learn another programming language, then your in the right place. The Atom's syntax is based on a super set of the Basic Stamp 2. The BasicATOM series is by far the easiest and best place to start for the lowest cost.
BasicATOM Nano
The BasicATOM Nano is the lowest cost, BASIC programmable microcontroller available. Its a great place to start if your just getting into microcontrollers or even if your experience but need a low cost solution. The Nano is based on the very mature BASIC library that drives the BasicATOM. The Nano is faster than most competing products like the PICAXE. All of the Nano's commands are flexible and not locked down to specific pins. Meaning you can use any 2 I/O pins to communicate to an I2C part or RS232. The Nano also includes commands to access built in hardware. The Nano is the only low cost BASIC programmable microcontroller that also allows access to low level ASM (Assembly Language). Best of all the BasicATOM Nano requires no additional parts to run. Supply 5VDC and a programming interface and your ready to go!
BasicATOM
The BasicATOM is the first programmable module Basic Micro introduced in 2000. It is pin compatible to the Basic Stamp 2 series of microcontrollers. The BasicATOM is programmed in BASIC. The BasicATOM language is based on a super set of BS2. However it has many more commands including 32bit math when compared to the BS2p. With over 9yrs in use you can find many user examples and projects to keep you busy for years to come.
BasicATOM Pro
The BasicATOM Pro is the Cadillac of the BasicATOM series. The Pro is based on a 32bit processor with built in 32 bit math hardware. This makes the BasicATOM Pro capable of natively processing 32 bit commands. The BasicATOM Pro contains up to 56K of flash for your programs. That's almost 7x more code space than our nearest competitor. Leaving you plenty of room for your next project. You can not only program the BasicATOM Pro in our easy to learn BASIC but you can also choose to program in C. The BasicATOM Pro can also be programmed in ASM (Assembly Language). You can even mix BASIC and ASM in one program! The BasicATOM Pro is the brains behind some of the internets most popular robots and robot kits. With all the flexibility and speed its easy to see why.
