STAMP FAQS
What is the BASIC Stamp?
Does the BASIC Stamp lose its program when I remove the battery or power supply?
Last Revised On: 7/21/00
The BASIC Stamp is a microcontroller developed by Parallax, Inc. which is easily programmed using a form of the
BASIC programming language. It is called a “Stamp” simply because it is close to the size of an average postage
stamp.
No, your PBASIC code is stored inside a serial EEPROM on-board the BASIC Stamp. EEPROMs provide non-
volatile storage; they retain memory even without power. The EEPROM used in the BASIC Stamp 1 and 2 is
guaranteed to function properly for 40 years and for 10,000,000 write cycles per memory location. The EEPROM
used in the BASIC Stamp 2e and 2sx is guaranteed for 1,000,000 write cycles per memory location.
