Re: Stamp or PIC?

I prefer using PICs. For the price of one Basic Stamp, you could get quite a few PIC 16F877 microcontrollers, which are far more powerful and flexible than Stamps. PBASIC is a very simple programming language; it's very easy for straightforward tasks, but it's frustrating when used for more complex stuff. Free C and BASIC cross-compilers are available for PIC microcontrollers, so there's really no reason to spend the extra money on a Stamp just to avoid programming in assembler.
