Talking Emulator, alligator !

Instead of going to the trouble / fun of writing / buying an emulator program for PBASIC (at a cost of ???), buy a real Basic Stamp II (you decide the version), and write programs for that. Perhaps you could obtain one of the chip-on-a-bosrd sets that Parallax sells.

I have an old BS2 mounted on a circuit board next to an inline header into which I have plugged an LCD 16x2 screen. I write a snippet to test, and have the results displayed on screen. The PBASIC isn't likely to change much soon, so this catches logic errors for me.

An emulator that would evaluate a complete robot control program in real time could easily overlook some little filigree that becomes glaringly important - debug on the robot.
