I know bs2(basic stamp two) and I can't spend a TON of money but I can spend some. If anyone will help me I would greatly appreciate.(maybe a tutorial or tips).

I was searching the web for a BS2 and I found this thing: www.c-stamp.com

It is a microcontroller that is programmed using a subset of C kind of how a BS2 is programmed using a version of BASIC I'm buying one soon and it is half the price of a BS2 and it has more pins and more memory and other stuff like that.

If you are serious about this, I would get it. A friend of mine used it for his senior project which was an arcade game.

so yea, if you want it the link is www.c-stamp.com

Just a little sidenote on programming things like these in C: you have to be careful. I was programming a motorola 68hc11 microcontroller that acted as the cpu of my science fair project in C, and it took me a 3-hour debugging session to figure out that my 60-char array was too big for RAM. You might want to do assembly instead.

P.S. That C-Stamp looks interesting. Parallax's monopoly days of selling the most beginner friendly mcu are probably over.

You might want to look at this.

It does virtually everything with a PIC.
