Anyhow does anyone know what the big differences are between the Basic Stamp and Pickaxe? Price wise there is a huge gap and I am really just wondering if the cheaper one is good for doing certain things and at what point you move into the more expensive vesrion.
Are you looking for a controller or a PLC? I have used the Basic Stamp in the past to learn about different controllers and also used another program to try and use a PLC.
