5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for anyone using the Basic Stamps!, March 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: BASIC Stamp: An Introduction to Microcontrollers (Paperback)

The treatment of the Basic Stamp modules by Kuhnel and Kahnert picks up where the Parallax Inc. documentation leaves off. Not recommended as a first book for the novice Stamp user but it is a 'MUST HAVE' to advance to the higher levels of application expertise. Clever application illustrations with clear descriptions as well as compact code illustrations give plenty of ideas to jump off on your next project design. A well worth the money reference book to add to your bookshelf. .....In short, buy it or regret it!
