My first BasicX stamp...questions - Chris - Aug 12 17:55:31 2006
I just got my new stamp in the mail. I've been using Parallax Basic
Stamps, with a Homework Board. I can just pop the BasicX chip in,
right? Using the software on the BasicX.com site?
Also, I checked out the command set, and was a little perplexed when I
saw the Boolean variable takes up a whole byte...this is a typo, right?

All correct *except* the Homework board. The homework board has a
"built-in" basicstamp 2 and does not have a 24 pin socket.
Now...if you really have a Board of Education (BOE), and just confused
the two, it would work.

Yep, a Boolean is 1 Byte just like in Visual Basic. Now if you
want to save on RAM you could use Constants with GetByte
and PutByte to stack 8 Booleans into a Byte variable of your
own.
