Lesson plan
BASIC Atom
Basic Atom refers to a line of self-contained microcontrollers from Basic Micro. Like the Basic stamp, the Basic Atom line is based upon various microchips pre-programmed with an interpreter, making it easy to change "programs", as they are only "data" being interpreted. Basic Atom refers to a line of self-contained microcontrollers from Basic Micro. A compiler converts a high level language into the interpretive "code" which is then loaded in as data, and run. * The product line consists of: ** Basic Atom - Basic Stamp 2 compatible devices, claiming faster execution ** Basic Atom Nano, a series of pre-programmed chips for those that want to integrate the functionality into other products without adding other boards ** Basic Atom Pro, a line of higher capacity devices. ** Board-level products, such as for robotic control, etc. ** Accessories such as power supplies. Basic Atom chips may be added to other projects via the familiar Dual in-line package style, or the higher density TQFP. One small Basic Atom Pro is implemented as a Single in-line package thus taking very little area on a board, at the expense of greater height.
