"Great book, lousy publisher." according to James A. Kvochick. Sadly, although this book is great, I do NOT suggest that you purchase it. The description of the book claims that there is a CDROM enclosed. Sadly, there isn't. The book also claims that you can "download all the files that would be on the CDROM from their FTP site". Yet another issue, because the publisher was acquired some months back, and their FTP site is GONE! Several attempts to address this issue with the publisher, the author, and Amazon have gone without resolving the issue. It's sad, because it's a great book.. Neil W. Fisk said Basic Stamp Hardware Bible For Your Next Project. The author has a good approach in revealing some of the pitfalls with using the Basic Stamp.Advanced users will certainly find some of Al's solutions very heplful, as he explains in detail floating point expressions, and working with negative numbers.Inside the book is good code on interfacing with a serial LCD, as with others I read, Al has taken some of the mystery out of it, and really puts them to practice in his projects.If your novice to electronics, then this book is for you. Al explains how to interface keypads, switches, LEDS with no experience at all, and certainly makes it look easy.I was impressed by how he expained t. Fun with Electronics! This book is for the beginner that wants to get into electronics and has heard that the Stamp is a pretty cool thing. The book starts out with an introduction to the Stamp and Electronics in general. From this, the user is given more detail on the Basic Stamp. The majority of the book is dedicated to the projects presented in the book and this is where I learned the most about the Stamp. The projects focus on interfacing to other devices and this is where the book really shines.
