Hi Jeff;

Personally I have never owned a Basic Stamp of any sort, so I have no idea as to its ease of use. I happen to get involved with the SX in assembler, and that's all I really know. Although I had a go at SX/B, but found it somewhat limiting, and quickly gravitated back to my comfort zone - assembler.

I'm interested in trying out the C language and hope that it will be available in stable form soon.

I also hope that SX/B can be enhanced to make it multi tasking, thereby removing its biggest obstacle..... it could become a real rocket!

I believe that assembler is only slightly more difficult than the other approaches, but for me at least, it takes much longer to write code. Once that is done however, it's performance will outshine anything else...... by a LONG shot.

So it all depends on your particular bent, higher level languages for convenience, or assembler for performance.

My view.

Cheers,

Peter (pjv)
