Re: Stamp or PIC?
actually a Basic Stamp board contains a PIC chip - I dont know if you can reprogram them to run assembly or C.
You can get 8 pin PIC chips that allow you to do some amazing things - two pins are power and gnd, that leaves you 6 IO pins to work with - but even still - they have design contests every once in a while and its amazing what some people have done with 8 pin PIC chips.
the PIC programmer pods are not expesive - and Im pretty sure you can program some PIC devices with a serial link without the need for a pod.
Ive been using MicroChips devices for about 8 years now and I think they are excellent.
