I keep the one Basic Stamp 1 SIPP nice and unused. For my future Basic Stamp museum.HAPPY FACE It's part of a Basic Stamp Starter Kit. Probably bought one of the last ones from Parallax. For experimenting. I use the Stamp 1 Project Board. Has a Basic Stamp 1 DIPP on it. That is a MANLY MAN Stamp!HAPPY FACE Happy holidays! I used a Basic stamp a few years ago to help my daughter learn about robots and software. After moving, I lost access to a Windows box, and now have all MacOSX machines. I tried to install and run MacBS2, and used links to ftdichips.com to download and install their VCP driver v2.3 for OSX 10.9 & up. We have OSX 10.11.3. Pair your Parallax Wi-Fi Module with a BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller! This tutorial series will introduce the basics of web interface-to-microcontroller programming using PBASIC, HTML, and Javascript plus a variety of sensors. The BASIC Stamp Editor Software for Windows created by Parallax Inc. This software may be distributed freely for personal, educational, or commercial use with Parallax BASIC Stamp hardware. No per-computer or site license is required at school, work, or home. Parallax remains the copyright owner so it may not be re-sold.
As a rapid prototyping tool for engineers, an affordable controller for hobbyists, and an easy-to-learn platform for technology students, the BASIC Stamp microcontroller prospers in many fields. Common uses include classroom robotics and lab projects from middle schools to universities, scientific field research tools, process control systems, and custom or lower-volume engineering projects. A wide base of sample applications and source code is available free online.
A BASIC Stamp module is a single-board computer that runs the Parallax PBASIC language interpreter in its microcontroller. The developer’s code is stored in an EEPROM, which can also be used for data storage. The PBASIC language has easy-to-use commands for basic I/O, like turning devices on or off, interfacing with sensors, etc. More advanced commands let the BASIC Stamp module interface with other integrated circuits, communicate with each other, and operate in networks.
The BASIC Stamp Editor Software is the programming environment for all BASIC Stamp modules, and custom devices built with our PBASIC Interpreter chips. A built-in Debug Terminal supports bidirectional (unidirectional on BS1) communication between the BASIC Stamp and the PC during run-time.
Where is the BASIC Stamp used?
The BASIC Stamp is used in technology education and as an easy-to-program, quick-to-implement solution in many industries including manufacturing, process control, and robotics. Hobbyists and Engineers alike are finding new uses for this powerful microcontroller every day.
When might you choose to use the BASIC Stamp instead of another product?
The BASIC Stamp is a good choice over other microcontrollers when a well-documented module with plenty of free educational tutorials is required. Persons looking to learn programming, sensor control, home automation, and robotics will find the BASIC Stamp to be the perfect tool. Experienced programmers also enjoy the BASIC Stamp microcontroller’s simplicity for quick projects.
Why should you use the BASIC Stamp?
For those new to electronics, the PBASIC language is very powerful yet very easy to learn. BASIC Stamp programming is the perfect entry to technology literacy. Parallax offers a wealth of free support, tutorials and resources for learning how to program and design projects with the BASIC Stamp.

Notice for School Information Technology Staff
No approval is required from Parallax to install the SimpleIDE software on your institution's computers. In fact, this is the intended audience for SimpleIDE. Like many modern software programs, SimpleIDE (propside) and the Propeller GCC compiler for the P8X32A multicore microcontroller (propgcc) are Parallax open-source initiatives. Parallax maintains an official distribution branch of the project to be released as Parallax approved software on this website, the projects are posted on GitHub. Parallax strives to keep the features and functions of this distribution of SimpleIDE in line with the needs of educational institutions to provide a consistent and trustworthy user experience.

Download Version & Details
Version 1.1
Supports Mac OSX 10.10 or newer. For instructions on installing the software and updating the Learn folder of libraries and example programs, see the the Set Up SimpleIDE - Mac tutorial.
Updates:
Replaced loader subsystem (Propeller-Load) with new loader subsystem (PropLoader).
Added wireless (Wi-Fi) support for programming and debugging via Parallax Wi-Fi Module (#32420). Wireless Propellers appear in port field when available. Use Tools > Rename Port to give Wi-Fi module a friendly name.
Enhanced download speed (by 6x) for both wired (USB) and wireless (Wi-Fi) connections (requires on-board 5 MHz crystal).
Mac installer now includes FTDI Driver and requires system restart as needed for proper FTDI driver operation.
Mac installer replaces configuration when updating from previously installed SimpleIDE.
Adjusted terminal to wrap to page by default.
Improved terminal performance.
Fixed Find/Replace so as not to miss the first character of the search term it finds.
Enhanced to set focus to editor after closing Find/Replace dialog to enable quicker manual replacements.
Increased contrast on 'found' item (in Find/Replace operations).
Allows .spin object to be added to projects for library creation.
Simplified memory model list to exclude XMM. Users may manually run old Propeller-Load command-line tool to download XMM applications.
Version 1.0 RC2
Parallax Basic Stamp Software Mac Free
Supports Mac OSX 10.6 or newer. IMPORTANT: Download and install the driver for your OSX from FTDI's VCP Drivers Page. For instructions on installing the software and updating the Learn folder of libraries and example programs, see the the Set Up SimpleIDE - Mac tutorial.
